B.A.I.L.E. (Bringing Awareness Into Latino Ethnicities)

B.A.I.L.E. is a student organization at the University of Connecticut aimed at raising cultural awareness through music and dance. Members of the campus community gather bi-weekly and enjoy learning new Latin dances such as Bachata, Merengue and Salsa. However we are not exclusively teaching these dances. If you have a traditional dance you have that you would love to teach or be taught, we accept dance requests! Examples include but are not limited to: Tango, Cumbia, Bachata Tipico, Merengue, etc. This organization is led by students from the university and is an active organization within the Puerto Rican/Latin American Cultural Center (PRLACC).

We participate in different events around campus and love to promote our annual showcase in the spring! Feel free to grab some friends and join us during our weekly practices, it is always a great time! 

This Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 semester, we will meet Bi-Weekly on Thursdays from 6:30-8:00 pm in Student Union Ballroom (Room 331)!

If you have any questions feel free to reach out to us! We love hearing from interested people!
