Project Cuba Workshop Series In Boston !
Masacote School @ 215 1st Street, Cambridge, MA
March 7 & 21, 2012
7:00 pm-10:30 pm.
Join The Masacote Dance School, MetaMovements & Yesenia Selier for a series of workshops that will expand your knowledge of salsa and its origins, and get a taste of the Cuban flavor that has had a profound influence on our dance companies and our own dancing.
This workshop series is part of our on-going effort to honor Cuba and its essential historical contributions to the world of Latin dance and music. Don’t miss this unique experience to learn from experienced instructors who have trained in Cuba!
Whichever style you dance, whatever your current level is, it's time to break new ground!
These knowledgeable instructors will tailor their workshops to meet the specific needs of students of many levels and genres, and help you transform the way you move.
If you are thinking of traveling to Cuba, this is the ideal way to prepare for your trip, so you enjoy it to the fullest. If you are not looking to travel right now, this is our way of bringing a piece of the Cuban experience right here to you!
Come 30 minutes early each day for a FREE Cuba Travel Info Session where you can learn more about traveling to Cuba and hear about other people's experiences. During this time there will be opportunities to learn about the new US-Cuba Travel Regulations and how you can travel to Cuba legally.
You can also learn more about Cuban dance and music classes and events happening here in the Boston area at Masacote, MetaMovements and other locations.
And you can join us online anytime at RootsOfSalsa.com and Dance & Music Research in Cuba on Facebook, for unique articles, testimonials, travel opportunities, photos and videos of dance, music and other Cuban cultural experiences being added regularly.
