Latino Grooves - The Home of Latain Dance, Music & Culture
About Us

At Latino Grooves, we are dedicated to promoting Latin culture in Adelaide and across Australia. Through music, dance and world-class events, we are bringing the spirit of Latin America to you!

Latino Grooves is South Australia's most prominent and professional Latin entertainment company, specialising in night club productions, events, festivals, international concerts, weekly dance tuition as well as corporate and private functions. They are the people to see on all matters Latino and entertainment!

Its founder and Director is multi-talented musician, dancer and DJ, Hugo Salcedo. Born in Cartagena, Colombia, Hugo's passion for his culture saw him work tirelessly in the Latin community since his arrival in Australia in 1999, finally establishing Latino Grooves in 2005. Hugo is also the Director of Hugo Salcedo & his TNT, one of Australia’s most successful Latin bands.

Hugo is credited by many as having introduced Salsa to Adelaide. An impromptu performance many years ago had people begging him to teach. The rest as they say is history.

With 3 locations across Adelaide, Latino Grooves provides superior Latin dance tuition through casual classes and structured courses with the finest Latin dance instructors in South Australia.

Through their passion for and commitment to Latin dance, music and culture, over the years Latino Grooves have been responsible for many great events such as the Latino Grooves Festival (formerly known as Tropicana Festival), international concerts such as Sonora Carruseles, regular Latino parties at the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel and the Arkaba Hotel as well as providing superior Latin entertainment right across Australia.

With Latino Grooves, you are guaranteed an authentic Latin American experience!
