Barrio Block Party

We're celebrating Barrio's 5-year anniversary with a showcase featuring Barrio students, Barrio instructors, Barrio Dance Factory, guest performers, and local DJs!

Barrio students,
Want to perform with us?

We're so excited to showcase YOU, our Barrio dance community member and student! It's like a Barrio recital, but better! Performing is an experience like no other, so we're offering performance courses/pieces in all levels and styles for the Barrio Block Party.

Costs include the performance choreography, instructor's time, studio space, and entry into the event.

If you've never had the chance to perform onstage, now is the time! Our instructors will guide you through the rehearsal and performance experience - get ready to shine!

Below are each of the available performance pieces. Please read the level, style, and rehearsal dates/times carefully.
