Welcome to the second annual College Latin Dance Championships.
Our mission: The College Latin Dance Championships is dedicated to improving the level of college Salsa competitions in California by sharing the beauty and passion of Latin dance with dancers and fans across the state. Empowering the diverse community of dancers through setting a new standard in dance. This competition is being hosted by the world renowned studio Soho Dance LA, the innovative company that has changed the way Latin dance is being taught and produced.
