About
Cumbia Session
Dance Class – Cumbia Traditions
Cumbia, a folkloric rhythm with roots in Colombia, blends Indigenous, African, and Spanish influences. The instructor will share the story of cumbia’s origins and its role as a dance of community celebration and resistance.
Audience Engagement:
Participants will learn the basic cumbia step and traditional movements that can be danced solo or with a partner. The class will culminate in a circle dance, symbolizing community unity, rhythm, and cultural pride.
