Take classes in both the open and close embrace dancing styles.  Saxophone player Blas Rivera will offer participatory lessons in musicality, a highlight of last year’s festival.

Classes will be held at La Rosita, which is located in the heart of Puerto Vallarta where the famous Malecón (boardwalk) begins. Vallarta’s bustling shops, bars, restaurants, and galleries are all within walking distance.  Milongas will be held in exquisite villas with open air floors designed specifically for dancing. They will be thematic and festive, accompanied by live saxophone and bandoneón music.
