ABOUT THE CLASSES :
Afro-Brazilian
Dance:
The traditional Afro-Brazilian dances of the Orixas (Deities)
are transmitted and studied through dance and rhythm. With a strong emphasis on
movement, these workshops align the body, mind and soul, as the dance surfaces
from the inner emotions. While slave owners banned African rituals, slaves
found ways to disguise their true beliefs, using dance and music to escape and
free themselves from hard times. This workshop teaches graceful movements and
relaxes the body through harmonious techniques.

Afro-Brazilian beats!
