Multicultural New Year’s celebrations
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — From Latin rhythms to Bollywood beats, Indianapolis is showcasing its diversity with New Year’s Eve events for all ages.
Celebrations like the New Year’s Eve Latin Bash at Latin Expressions Dance Company feature salsa, bachata, and nightclub cha-cha.
“All people from all walks of life, ages, races, sexual orientation, it’s one of those things where anyone can feel welcome. That’s the best part about the Latin community. We can come together for a common cause,” Kyle Culmann, director at Latin Expressions Dance Company, said.
Culmann said the event includes lots of good food, a midnight countdown, a champagne toast, and music.
“Empanadas – both beef and vegetarian – and the music will be played by DJ Mambo Sound, and we’ll do that from 9 p.m. until about 2 a.m.,” Culmann said.
The Latin Bash is open to all ages, tickets are available at the door. Whether you are a seasoned salsa dancer or have two left feet, people of all skill levels are welcome.
“We’ll have plenty of people who are here to help teach us the basic steps. The scene is very welcoming so when newcomers come along, they like to show people the steps, get them out on the dance floor, and have a good time,” Culmann said.
