Less Than 2 Months To Go – Here’s Your GCLA 2017 Updates

With less than 2 months to go until the Carnival Inspiration sets sail to Ensenada, Mexico, lots of GCLA 2017 details continue to be released. From additional headliners to hosted stage announcements and themes party details to onboard activities, the hype surrounding Groove Cruise LA is snowballing. Here’s your GCLA 2017 updates.

Let’s get to it.

Learn How to Shuffle

On the internet and on the dance floor, shuffling is one of the most common forms of dancing in the electronic music scene. For some, it comes easily. For others, not so much. Regardless, GCLA 2017 is your chance to learn some new moves with shuffling sensations Elena Cruz and Vanesa Seco. During this year’s west coast Groove Cruise sailing, you’ll have the chance to learn how to shuffle from the best while dancing to beats provided by the one and only 3LAU.

More Onboard Activities Announced

You’re already on a cruise with music scheduled around the clock featuring some of the biggest artists in the scene. You’re room is walking distance away, you can eat as much as you’d like, and you have access to all the amenities on the ship.
