La Cookout! An immersive Latin-style cookout, variety show, and dance party featuring live music by Son Monarcas!
And yes...there will be tacos.
La Cookout is an immersive dance performance and community gathering created, directed, and choreographed by Amanda Ramirez. Inspired by the Latin family cookouts where food, music, dancing, storytelling, and community come together, the show blends contemporary dance, cumbia, salsa, live music, and theater into one big celebration.
Hosted by Don Alfredo, the evening features live music by Son Monarcas, tacos and drinks, and a cast of dancers who bring the cookout to life through movement, music, and storytelling.
Then, when the show ends, you’re invited to dance. Stay for an hour of social dancing with salsa, cumbia, merengue, and more.
Join the party October 10–11!
