Time: 8:00–9:00 PM
Cost: $20 per person
Instructors: Tomás Galván & Gimena Herrera
Space may be limited, so advance sign-up is recommended.
sunset & Dolphin cruise
Unfortunately, the hotel canceled the Sanibel Harbour Princess cruise because the boat is currently unable to sail. We were definitely disappointed, but the LaBlast team moved quickly to create a new option so we can still enjoy a night out on the water together!
We have booked a private 45-foot catamaran with Adventures in Paradise for a sunset dolphin and wildlife cruise. The cost is $59 per person, and we have just a few spots remaining for Friday night.
Please note that the Friday cruise conflicts with the Argentine Tango lesson, so you will need to choose between the two activities.
What to Pack and Wear
What to Pack and Wear
During the day, LIFCON is all about movement, so please plan to wear comfortable workout attire and shoes that work well for you. Although there will be a dance floor, space may be limited, and many sessions may include dancing on carpet.
For Samba on the Balcony, please wear a bright-colored shirt. Last year, we blended in a little too much during Disco, so this year we want to bring the color! The LaBlast Shop will also have bright options available for purchase.
Thursday evening’s Salsa DJ social dancing is casual and festive. Wear something comfortable that you can move in, such as a fun dress, skirt, pants, or outfit that makes you feel confident on the dance floor. Dance shoes are welcome, but not required.
The same applies for the Tango Lesson. Dress comfortably, wear shoes you can move in, and come ready to learn and connect.
For the Gala, the dress code is formal, and this year’s theme is Life in Color. Be bold. Be bright. Be you.
