One night. One dance floor. A hundred reasons to connect.
The Social follows an ensemble of dancers, lovers, outsiders, and seekers who gather at a Latin dance social on Maui. As the music builds, rivalries surface, connections form, and relationships shift with every step on and beyond the floor. It’s a story about dance not as performance, but as language: the way strangers find each other, if only for a night.
Three ways to make your mark. However you move, there’s a spot on the floor with your name on it.
One lead and one follow will win in each category. Solo dancers are welcome to enter. Dance couples are encouraged to try out together.
