Hi, I’m Arnoldo (DJ Armónic), founder of Muévete - Dance Experiences and creator of PARKCHATA™, a new outdoor Bachata and Salsa experience designed to bring people together through music, movement, and community.
After nearly two years of planning, I’m excited to share that PARKCHATA™ is officially happening.
We’ve signed our agreement with Friends of Waterfront Park and will be hosting our inaugural season at Pier 58 beneath the Seattle Great Wheel on:
• July 19, 2026
• August 16, 2026
• September 13, 2026
Each event is completely free and open to the public. Every evening begins with a beginner-friendly dance lesson, followed by an outdoor social dance where everyone, from first-timers to experienced dancers, can enjoy an unforgettable summer evening on Seattle’s waterfront.
Our mission is simple: make dance accessible to everyone while creating meaningful connections in one of Seattle’s most iconic public spaces.
Although admission is free, producing an event like this requires significant resources. Your contribution helps cover:
* Event permits and venue fees
* Liability insurance
* Professional instructors and DJs
* Sound equipment and event production
* Volunteers and event staffing
* Photography and videography
* Community outreach and marketing
* Equipment that will allow PARKCHATA™ to grow year after year
My goal isn’t just to produce three events. I’m building a community tradition that returns every summer and becomes a signature part of Seattle’s waterfront.
I’ve spent more than 10 years as a dancer, DJ, and event organizer in the Pacific Northwest, and PARKCHATA™ is the culmination of everything I’ve learned about bringing people together through dance.
Whether you donate $10 or $1,000, you’re helping create a welcoming, inclusive experience where hundreds of people can learn, dance, and build community together.
If you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with friends and family is another incredible way to help.
Thank you for helping us build a new Seattle tradition. Whether you donate, share this campaign, or simply join us on the dance floor this summer, your support means the world to us.
