Afro-Latin Social Dance Workshop
Monday, March 16 @ 7:00 pm
Hazel-Pruitt Armory, Collaboratory
Dance it out and get your week started right! Los Angeles–based activist dance theater company CONTRA-TIEMPO invites you to move and groove in their high-energy Sabor Session (from the Spanish word for “flavor”). Dancers will guide participants of all levels through Afro-Latin social dance forms rooted in radical joy, rhythm and community connection.
Appropriate for all ages, levels and abilities. No dance experience required — just come ready to move and have fun.
This event is free and open to members of the Shenandoah University community and the general public.
Co-sponsored by Shenandoah Conservatory, the Division of Student Affairs and the Mosaic Center, this workshop is part of CONTRA-TIEMPO’s creative residency at Shenandoah University supporting the development of their newest work, Roots of Loving Us.
