It's that time again, y'all! On Sunday, July 20th, we'll be meeting on the internets for our (almost-) monthly workshop, "Understanding Cuban Music for Dancers," or--as the kids call it--UCMfD (just rolls off the tongue).
At 2pm (NY time - ignore any other time that Facebook tells you this event takes place), we'll be spending 90 minutes diving deep into the structures, instruments, and rhythms of Cuban music, with a particular focus on helping us to understand what the implications are for us as dancers. It's essential learning that will help deepen your connection to the music and give meaning to your movement.
The class will be led by 93x rueda world champion (and two-time runner-up in the sarcasm olympics) Ethan Wagner and will include plenty of time for questions and discussion.

HOW MUCH: $20
