The Afro-Latin Fest Asia, also known as ALFA, makes its much-anticipated introduction as a major event in the Asian Afro-Latin dance scene in 2017. ALFA is an international dance festival held in Malaysia which focuses on the unique fusion of African & Latin street dances which have taken the dance world by storm in recent times. The general structure of the festival is divided into three main activities: workshops by some of the world’s leading instructors during the day; stunning shows by world class performers and instructors in the evening; followed by hours of social dancing with participants and instructors from the world over to the tunes of some of the best DJs in the region. Dedicated social rooms for Latin and Afro music respectively is a key feature of this inaugural event. In line with its objective of spreading the love and awareness of Afro-Latin music and dancing, the festival places equal importance on the two distinct components of the event, Latin and Afro.

The Latin track of ALFA offers a comprehensive series of workshops on traditional and urban Latin street dances such as Salsa, Bachata and zouk with the added array of fun workshops on street Cha-Cha, Pachanga, Reggaeton, Merengue, etc. The Afro track of ALFA will focus predominantly on the dance that has taken the world by storm in recent years, kizomba. The world-famous instructors at ALFA promise some high-quality workshops that cover the different styles of kizomba, both traditional and urban. Other workshops under the Afro track include Semba, Afro-house, Afro Brazilian Contemporary (ABC), and much more. The workshops will cater to dancers of all levels, from beginner to advanced, there’s something for everyone.
