About All Salsa Festival 2027
Come dance in Lyon for three days where Cuban, Mambo and Caleña rhythms meet focused workshops and lively socials. The festival gathers daytime classes and evening parties across several dance floors, offering an energetic yet friendly atmosphere where social dancing is at the heart of the experience. Expect a mix of structured learning and open-floor connection that lets you practise new material, try different styles and meet other dancers from local and international scenes.
