About this collection
These are not just dance nights, but the highlights of our year where the LVDS community truly bonds. Whether it is a formal Winter Ball at a 5-star venue or a weekend of barefoot dancing by the riverside in Srirangapatna, these events are designed to take the energy from our studio classes and amplify it. It is where you go from knowing a few steps to feeling part of a real dance family, regardless of your experience level.
Annual Winter Ball
Our Winter Ball is the highlight of Bangalore's dance social calendar. We take over a luxury banquet hall, dress up, and dance the night away. It is a formal celebration, but with the LVDS spirit—expect 5+ hours of Salsa, Bachata, Jive, and Swing, followed by a dinner buffet that keeps everyone fueled. We believe in high production value, so you get premium sound, lighting, and festive decor that makes every attendee feel like a star.
Gala Del Sol Retreats
For those who want to escape the city, our Gala Del Sol retreats are an immersive experience. We pick stunning locations—like the beaches of Goa or the riverside resorts of Srirangapatna—to disconnect from the daily grind. These are not just parties. We hold intensive workshops during the day to refine your technique in Pachanga or Bachata, and spend the evenings social dancing under the stars.
Why Join Us?
We keep our events intimate and well-managed. We have seen 400-person festivals elsewhere, but we prefer smaller, quality gatherings where you can actually make friends. Whether you are a total beginner who just finished their first Salsa batch or a regular at our Friday Havana Nights, these events are designed to be safe, welcoming, and high-energy. You do not need a partner or pro-level skills to join; you just need to bring your energy.
Lourd Vijay's Dance Studio
We are LVDS, and for us, dance is just the excuse to get together—the community is the real reason we have been around since 1998. We do not just teach steps, we build a tribe that parties as hard as it practices. Come join us at our next gala, and you will see why we say dance is for everyone.
