ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Julia L. Gutiérrez-Rivera was weaned as a child on Bomba/Plena, receiving formal training as a part of LP21‟s Children's Workshops' Pioneer Class. She is now recognized as one of NYC's premier Bomba & Plena dancers.
Throughout her childhood, Julia has been taught by many of NY's Bomba &Plena luminaries, including founding LP21 members. Over the years, she continued to develop her art, integrating diverse regional & generational influences in her dance as a performer and teaching artist with Los Pleneros de la 21, Alma Moyo, Bámbula and The Legacy Women. Julia’s dance classes are highly regarded, as she guides participants at all stages of their development through comprehensive and fun exercises to strengthen each dancer’s own voice within the music. She has offered classes and performed for thousands people of all ages and backgrounds throughout the world.
UN PASO ALANTE series is an extension of the Bomba & Plena Community Workshops, and offers advanced level or master class explorations and different iterations of the drumming, dancing, singing and musical practice of Afro-Puerto Rican traditions and other expressions of the Afro-Caribbean. It is made possible in part by support from the New York State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and the offices of NYC Council Member Melissa Mark Viverito, District 8.
