Partner Dancing

“Kai Holmes is a professional ballroom dancer who creates spaces for connection through movement, music, and shared experience.

In this playful and welcoming workshop, participants will explore the art of partner social dancing. Together we will learn how to dance some Salsa and Bachata from the Latin family. This time together focuses less on perfection and more on presence—learning how to listen, respond, and co-create with a dance partner without saying a word.

Together, we’ll practice the subtle language of leading and following: how to invite movement, offer direction, and build trust through touch, timing, and awareness. Whether you’re brand new to dance or already comfortable on the floor, this session offers tools you can immediately bring into the festival—connecting with others during live music in a way that feels natural, expressive, and fun.

Come solo or with a partner. Leave with new skills, new connections, and a deeper sense of how to move in harmony with those around you.”
