On Sunday 18th September, the Australian Dance Festival will host the spectacular Latin Dance Australia Annual Ball featuring all styles of Latin Dance from Salsa, Samba, Zouk, Bachata and Reggaeton. If you love Latin Dance, you won't want to miss out on this incredible night, created by Latin Dance Australia.
What is the annual LDA Ball?
The annual LDA Ball is held in honour of LDA's beloved dance students and is a tribute to the passion and effort they have put into both LDA and Latin Dance culture in Sydney throughout the year.
The Ball was created to showcase the many talents of our students whom we have seen grow over the years in skill and passion for the many different styles of Latin Dance. In tribute hard work and talent, our instructors choreograph specific routines if different dance styles and levels which are then taught to our students so they can perform and be the STARS of the night.
“The 2011 LDA Ball witnessed 200 PERFORMERS from Latin Dance Australia make their dreams come true and perform for a FULL HOUSE at SYDNEY TOWN HALL with over 1,100 people applauding, screaming for and enjoying 21 spectacular shows. It is impossible to explain the emotion, passion, energy and happiness felt right throughout the night, starting at the shows right through to end of the party.. As an owner of LDA, I simply cannot thank our students and instructors enough for all their amazing work in turning the 2011 LDA BALL into one of the best Dance school events in the world!!!” – Jaime Jesus (Director)

How can I perform at the Latin Dance Australia Ball?
Any person learning from beginners to advanced levels in any Latin Dance style can be part of it.
A student may choose to perform in as much choreographies as they wish in accordance to their level and availability. All you have to do is to make the difficult choice of selecting the choreography(ies) you would like to be part of.
Each of the 'Performance classes' will run as 14 class courses, once a week with a duration of 1 hour and 15 minutes each until the students are ready to perform. Should the Performer Program take more than the stated classes to master, extra fees per class will apply thereafter for subsequent classes.
The Performer Program class requires teamwork, dedication, patience and effort from all involved. During the classes, the students will receive intense group and personal attention from the instructors to ensure that they focus on specific areas requiring improvement. Important skills will be taught in a more detailed fashion. These include:
This is a great chance for you to improve your dance style and technique dramatically, whilst learning essential performance skills, designed to make you stand out whether on the stage or the dance floor.
