MamboLab is coming to Ritmo
and opportunities like this don’t come around often.

Move With Grace Ballroom
4015 University Dr K, Durham, NC 27707
Three years of dance, performances, classes, friendship, connection, family, and community.
What started as a social has grown into something much bigger — a place where dancers from across the Triangle and beyond come together to learn, connect, celebrate, and share the dance floor.
For our 3-Year Anniversary, we’re creating a full Ritmo experience with workshops, performances, social dancing, food, and special guest artists Elian & Ashley-MamboLab.
