The Old Pasadena Cultural Dance Festival offers a free day of dance performance and classes on Saturday, October 14. Styles range from Russian to Samoan traditional dance, and each performance on the main stage at 35 North De Lacey Ave will be followed by audience participation! The performers will teach some moves from their cultural dance style so everyone can dance along.
In addition, free dance classes will be held all afternoon at nearby Lineage PAC (scroll down for schedule), and Old Pasadena restaurants will offer tastings of ethnic cuisines.
The festival runs from 1 PM to 6 PM.
