Relive the movement of Rhumba 4 Rainbow 2025
Once a year, Madison pulses to the rhythm of hope. Rhumba 4 Rainbow transforms a winter night into a kaleidoscope of color and movement—where salsa spins meet the heartbeat of samba, and tango’s embrace mingles with the joy of bachata. Beneath shimmering lights, dancers glide and sway, not just for the music, but for a mission: to help children and families rise from life’s darkest shadows into healing and resilience. It’s more than a gala—it’s a celebration of community, culture, and the power of compassion in motion.
Madison’s boldest dance event of the year
Dance has the power to heal the human spirit. Through rhythm and movement, we give voice to unspeakable feelings.
Our community deserves more than an empty floor—so we fill it with life, color, and celebration.
Celebrate with us in Exhibition Hall at Monona Terrace on Friday, September 18th, 2026 from 7 pm to midnight! Purchase your tickets here.
