Somos Ritmo - LEC Mid Year Showcase 2025
La Encantada Collective is excited to present their 2025 mid-year showcase 'Somos Ritmo' with two shows on Sunday 6th July. With over 50 performers in an exquisite new venue, these shows are not to be missed!
LEC's 'Somos Ritmo' is a vibrant two-act dance theatre experience that follows three friends whose living room daydreams spark an unexpected journey through the soul of Salsa. When an old radio mysteriously begins to tune into more than just music, the trio is transported across the Caribbeanâinto the heart of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republicâencountering the roots, rhythms, and stories that shaped Latin music and dance.
In Act Two, the rhythm carries the friends to New York City, where cultures collide to create bold new expressions: Mambo, Cha Cha & Boogaloo. Blending dance, singing, storytelling, and music, this journey reveals that Salsa is more than just a danceâit's history, identity, community, and joy. Somos Ritmo is a vibrant tribute to the music, people, and places that shaped Salsaâa journey of discovery through rhythm, culture, and connection.
