A Unifying Cultural Event

In promoting Afro-Latin dance styles, music, the history and origins at our events in Victoria, B.C., the Afro Latin Cultural Exchange Society (ALCES) strives to create a unifying cultural event promoting synergy between international and local artists and attendees.

We encourage the discovery of new artists, facilitating integration and closer ties between local communities, and giving our local artists exposure and a platform to perform at a high level.

Equality & Inclusion

The ALCES promotes equality, diversity, multiculturalism, respect, and inclusion. We make a conscious effort that our events are created with artists, taxi dancers, ambassadors that represent diversity in race, gender, and cultural backgrounds. As well, all attendees are welcome regardless of age, race, gender, what you identify as, sexual orientation, religious or political views, or for any other reason.

Our Committment

The ALCES is committed to promoting at our events an environment free from harassment, discrimination and abuse. Therefore, we do not tolerate harassment of any kind, any racism behaviour, any discrimination, and any unwanted attention.

Welcome

In Victoria, we are extremely proud of having a very welcoming dance community. The positive energy is infectious and as we have always said “come as a guest and leave as a friend.”
