Immerse yourself in Latino culture with La Vida Es Un Carnaval. Translated as “Life is a Carnaval”, the show celebrates all the best parts of life, namely music and dance. Presented by one of the best Latin dance schools in Adelaide, the team at La Bomba share an astounding hour of passion, culture, and dance. Grooving to a blend of Latino and Brazilian music, the dancers inspire audience members and truly bring a taste of Latino culture to Adelaide.

With past events from La Bomba selling out fast, the fringe show promises a unique experience for people of all ages and walks of life. The performers show off their excellent dance skills in outstanding costumes, revealing the true beauty of Latino culture. Their headpieces demand attention from onlookers, and you can’t help but bob, sway, and shimmy in your seat.

One of the highlights of the show was the fire dancers. Truly encapsulating the fiery passion between dancers, the fire spinner gripped everyone’s attention from the moment of ignition. As wows rippled through the crowd and shoes shuffled to get a better view, it’s clear that all performers know how to work an audience.

Providing an exuberant display of samba, malandro, salsa, plena, rueda and many more dance styles, audiences are sure to be impressed by La Vida Es Un Carnaval. Join the fiesta and check them out now! And don’t be surprised if you find yourself returning to La Bomba for a couple of dance classes!
