Treveris Dance Festival
International Latin American Dance Festival in Trier with Bachata, Kizomba, and Salsa
About Treveris Dance
The Latin American dance scene in Europe has developed into a dense network of festivals, congresses, and dance schools over the last two decades. Bachata (Dominican Republic), Kizomba (Angola, with Portuguese-African roots), and Salsa (Cuban-Puerto Rican) form the core of the scene and are exchanged internationally at festivals. The Treveris Dance Festival has established itself as a permanent fixture in Trier — strategically located for dancers from Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, and France.
The workshop structure is multi-track: workshops are offered for each genre and level (Beginner to Advanced) by internationally renowned trainers — usually 50 to 60 workshops over three days. Show acts run in parallel, where leading dancers present current productions. Social dancing — informal dancing to DJ sets — takes place in the evenings and at night. In the Jack-and-Jill competitions, dance partners are drawn randomly; a format that tests improvisation skills and leading/following competence.
The Europahalle Trier at Viehmarktplatz offers the ideal infrastructure: several workshop rooms, a large main hall for shows and social dancing, and catering services.

Several hundred dancers are expected from Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, France, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
