Discipline, effort, grace, talent, and fun are just a few words that come to mind when thinking about dance. Dance and its different disciplines bring extraordinary moments to all those who offer their time and energy to develop their talent and give the world moments of emotion, inspiration, and joy. Recognizing the commitment, fostering talent, and promoting prestige in a non-competition environment has been the mission for seven years of @DanceFestMX. This happening is known as the best dance party in the country. It is devoted to bringing together the ten most prestigious academies in Mexico in a unique setting like the Pepsi Center WTC.
Last Thursday, March 31, the seventh edition of Dance Fest MX 2022 began. This festival intends to motivate young dancers and their community and expose them to unique experiences of international stature.
The Master Classes for students from different academies and a class for directors, choreographers, and teachers began with the international guest artist Jasmine Mason from Los Angeles, who shares credits as a dancer on the Katy Perry tour, Jennifer Lopez’s video Take my breath, among others.

Another surprise was when students from different academies drove the audience crazy by performing the Closing Number and sharing the stage with Jasmine Mason.
The highlight of the evening was thanks to the creator and founder of this event, Laura Jauregui, sharing the stage with her students from Lau Jau Studio in the discipline of Hip Hop. Excited, she shared with us that it is something she wanted to do after two years to return to the stage of the Pepsi Center WTC, having not stepped on the spotlight for 15 years and sure that it was the best moment to enjoy with her girls, thank and honor that this space stays alive.
