Get ready to swirl and twirl! This Specialty AfroCuban Dance Workshop is dedicated to the Yoruba Oricha Yemaya, The Divine Universal Mother of All & Deity of the Sea. From the shallow waters of the ocean to the deep, dark, tumultuous depths of the sea, we will flow through 4-cycles of Yemaya’s dance as it’s done in a traditional folkloric format from beginning to end. Live Batá drumming by Tambor y Machete. @conmimachete
Under the guidance of Kimberly’s instruction and her ability to curate intimate and meaningful containers for learning and personal transformations, we will honor the African diaspora dance traditions and Yoruba cultural legacies preserved in Cuba inside in the spirit of learning and having fun. All levels are welcome. No prior experience necessary; Everyone is Welcome.
