Nearly 9,000 fifth grade students from 90 schools throughout Los Angeles County will vie for the title of Conga Kids Dance Champion. Out of all the participating students, nearly 220 students will dance their way at Xbox Plaza (formerly Microsoft Square) at L.A. Live on Wednesday, May 22, 2019 for the championship trophy.
Founder Brad Gluckstein and Artistic Director Daniel Ponickly created Conga Kids as a 501(c)(3), the non-profit arm of the Conga Room, L.A.’s renowned music and dance venue. The transformative dance curriculum develops students’ creative potential and sets a foundation of respect, teamwork, confidence and leadership.
Conga Kids utilizes a standards-based program that teaches students five partnership dances (e.g., Merengue, Swing, Salsa, Tango, and Fox Trot). Participating school districts include Los Angeles Unified, Beverly Hills Unified, Lynwood Unified, Pomona Unified, Monrovia Unified, Mountain View and El Monte City School Districts.
