Immerse yourself in the Cubason experience: a tailor-made nook for the lovers of Cuban social dances. Enjoy the most "sabrosa" Cuban music through themed parties and workshops with methodological and international instructors.

2024's perfect rendezvous between communities of dancers and schools from all over the world will be held in New Orleans. Dile Que NOLA and Cubason Congress have joined forces to bring this event for the first time to the United States (previously in Spain and Mexico). This one-of-a-kind edition will mix the magical warmth (in more ways than one) of The Big Easy and the masterful educational mission of Cubason. We will be hosting all sorts of incredible Cuban dance workshops: Casino, Rueda de Casino, Rueda Structures, Son, Danzon, Rumba, Afro-Cuban, Changui, Musicality, Music History, Musical Structure.

We will all be staying at Le Pavillon Hotel New Orleans, our trusted and favorite host hotel. Le Pavillon will host our welcome party, registration and other meet-ups. Other activities such as workshops, main parties, and more, will be held at different areas and iconic venues of New Orleans.

Rueda Con Ritmo will be offering a performance workshop beginning in June to prepare students to perform at the Congress (and enable you to take advantage of the Performer Pass).
