Guateke Sessions: Explore Latin dance styles (free events!) – Charlotte On The Cheap

Explore various Afro-Caribbean and Latin dance styles such as Puerto Rican Bomba, Venezuelan Tambor, Colombian Cumbancha, Honduran Punta, and Peruvian Festejo. No experience is necessary!

These sessions will not only teach basic dance steps but also delve into the history and cultural significance of each rhythm, creating an enriching experience that connects movement with heritage.

The workshops will foster connection and inclusivity by inviting people from diverse backgrounds to share in the joy of dance while learning about each other’s cultural roots.

The community will experience a dynamic fusion of movement, music, storytelling, promoting cultural exchange and unity.

By participating, individuals will not only learn new skills but also gain a deeper appreciation for the diverse cultural landscapes that shape their community through different ways of storytelling.

This workshop is sponsored by Culture Blocks— a community partnership between ASC, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library and Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation to bring arts and cultural experiences closer to where residents live. Culture Blocks is funded by Mecklenburg County.
