Our Mission
We aim at holistically living, inviting, and embodying Cuban dance to create spaces of accessibility, opportunity, and inclusion through building deep allyship with Latinx art.
We examine the relationship between movement and culture in Salsa dancing through a study of the different styles that make up this dance genre. Our dance training focuses on Social Popular, Folkloric, Afro-Cuban, and Contemporary Cuban dances through a study of history, tradition, demographics, and generational developments inside and outside of Cuba.
