Welcome to the Jungle: An immersive Afro Fusion dance experience

About

Melbourne dance lovers are invited to experience the energy, colour and rhythm of Africa when French-African artist Belmondo Bakengela (Bel-Mondo) returns to Australia for an exclusive event.

Welcome to the Jungle 2 – Return of the King is a vibrant celebration of Afro Fusion, dance fitness and community. It will bring together people of all ages and fitness levels for an afternoon of movement, music and connection.

Belmondo creates music inspired by Afrobeat, Kizomba, Zouk and contemporary African rhythms, blended with Latin and urban dance styles. He returns to Melbourne for one day only to share his passion for African-inspired dance and encourage people to experience the joy of movement.

"This event is about more than dance," said event organiser Michelle Harrison.

"It's about bringing people together, celebrating African culture through music and movement, and creating an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. Whether you've been dancing for years or you're stepping onto the dance floor for the first time, you'll leave smiling."

We encourage you to embrace the jungle theme by wearing animal print, safari-inspired outfits or colourful African prints, helping create a spectacular atmosphere both on and off the dance floor.

The event will feature:

• a high-energy Afro Fusion dance workshop with Belmondo
• an unforgettable African themed Zumba Masterclass
• international music and choreography
• a welcoming community atmosphere suitable for all ages, beginners and experienced participant.
