Boulder Afro-Latin Dance Classes
Boulder Afro-Latin Dance aims at representing the Afro-Latin dance identity through a deep study of Cuban Popular, Cuban Folkloric, Afro-Cuban, & Cuban Contemporary dances.
Meet The Founder & Artist
Jesús David Muñoz is a Latinx dance artist and percussionist within the complexities of Indigenous, Mexican and Cuban culture, music, and dance, and within Eurocentric dance in ballet, modern, and contemporary techniques.
Muñoz is a current ensemble dancer at Cleo Parker Robinson Dance, & recent MFA in Dance Graduate from the University of Colorado, Boulder. He holds a BFA in Dance Performance from the University of Central Oklahoma.
Alongside extensive communitarian and performance work, Muñoz holds twenty years of involvement in the Latinx dance community internationally as a freelance dance artist, educator, performer, and choreographer.
Being informed by his Mexican-Indigenous heritage, he explores dance through a cultural lens that celebrates Latinidad, fosters Latinx artistic excellence, & builds new accessibility spaces for his communities.
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.
