About Us
California Cosplay Gala is a social ballroom event for people who have an interest in Japanese pop culture (cosplay, gaming, Japanese fashion, and more!) At California Cosplay Gala, you can learn how to dance, create amazing cosplays, and meet like-minded and social individuals! Our organization started in 2018 out of our passion to host dance events for those interested in anime, video games, cosplay, etc. outside of anime and video game conventions. Here at California Cosplay Gala, we strive to go beyond your expectations and improve with every step. Our mission is to create an event that will introduce guests to the intersection of cosplay and dance through beginner-friendly dance lessons, music and themes from popular media, and displays of creative and formal costumes.
