Menéate Viena
Vienna, Austria
Vienna's Afro-Cuban festival: timba, son, casino, rumba and afro across four days.
Menéate Viena calls itself the Afro-Cuban dance festival in Vienna, and the programme bears that out: timba, salsa, son, casino, rumba, afro and reggaeton, taught by a mix of visiting and resident teachers.
Vienna is unusual on this circuit. Most Central European Cuban events happen in Poland or Germany, so a festival holding this line in Austria is worth knowing about if you are within reach of it.
