Back in the dance-friendly environs of the Charles H. Morris Center, audiences can expect joyful performances of hip-shaking song at this year’s Latin Dance Party. Come dance the night away!

“Original compositions richly imbued with tradition; superb arrangements with an international flavor; and a world-class band that delivers with great precision.” —Latin Jazz Network
