Meet Our Team
It takes a neighborhood to run a four-genre, multi-day dance event.
Master of Ceremonies
MCs are responsible for hosting an event, guiding the audience through the various parts of the program, and ensuring that the event runs smoothly.
Possessing strong public speaking skills, charisma, and the ability to adapt to different audiences and event formats, Alejandro Delatorre and Kris Layug will introduce performers, make announcements, keeping the audience engaged, and sometimes improvise or handle unexpected situations.
Production Team
Each member of the production team plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth execution of the performances, from planning and rehearsals to the actual presentation on stage or in front of the audience.
Media Team
The media team plays a crucial role in crafting and disseminating content to reach and engage with target audiences effectively.
Phil, Preston, Carmen, and Terry are tasked with one of the most challenging aspects of our festival and we appreciate their help.
Meet Your Organizers
Our event organizers handle everything from venue selection and logistics to marketing and attendee management.
