RITMO 3-YEAR ANNIVERSARY Featuring Elian & Ashley • MamboLab • Empire Mambo NYC

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

Saturday, October 3, 2026 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.

Artist: ELIAN & ASHLEY

The artists behind MamboLab, with ties to Empire Mambo NYC.
