Join us for our FREE weekly Afro-Puerto Rican Bomba class with Lauren Brooks in partnership with the Rebuild Foundation! Bomba is an Afro-Puerto Rican traditional music and dance form that has survived over 400 years. Like other African diasporic performance styles, Bomba features improvised expression and collaboration between dancers, vocalists, and drummers. Participants will enjoy learning fundamental dance vocabulary, technique, and timing!
Bring a wide skirt or scarf, if possible.
We hope to see you every Thursday from 6:30-8:00pm, starting February 4th and ending April 10th!
