Los Encantos Kingston Latin Dance Team

Los Encantos Kingston Latin Dance Team started as a ladies dancing team in March 2023. The idea was to conduct short term dance projects and involve as many people as possible in the beautiful world of Latin Dance while having fun. Today, Los Encantos are more than a group of perfomers. They are a family united by a passion for Latin dance and community enrichment. Their motto, “Inspire, Train, Transform,” reflects their mission: each dance step is a chance for personal growth and emotional connection. Los Encantos offers a diverse array of classes and choreography projects that are designed not just for performance and competition, but as gateways to joy, self-confidence, and a deep sense of belonging. For Los Encantos, dance is a catalyst for personal transformation and a medium for building strong, supportive communities.

Christina Foster, Savannah Shea and Anna Sudac grew up within 30km of each other in very different families, each filled with music and laughter, each producing a sensitive, perceptive, expressive daughter with excellent pitch and impeccable taste. These daughters grew into three powerhouse singers who forged unique paths in the same direction; a life with music as its centrepiece. Their respective careers span decades, cities, bands, ensembles, solo projects, private trials and public triumphs.  As a trio they are finding a home for some of their most personal original work, and a place to party with beloved songs by artists from all over the musical map.
