Virginia Bomba: Bomba Afro-Puerto Rican Dance Workshop - Saturday November 15, 2014

We are returning to Richmond! 

We extend you an invitation to learn about the Afro-Caribbean music and dance from Puerto Rico called BOMBA. It is a music and dance developed by the African slaves that worked in the sugarcane fields, and it is still alive in the island and in the diaspora. It is a dialog between the dancer and one of the many drummers. The dancer makes body figures called 'piquetes' and the lead drummer --called the 'primo' or 'subidor'-- interprets them in the drum. One dancer at a time 'challenges' or 'talks' to the 'primo' drummer through his or her dance sequence. Bomba is a personal expression, it is freedom, it is our legacy and our treasure.

The workshop will cover bomba history, basic steps, a dance sequence, and an individual practice. If you are interested in this opportunity we encourage you to come out and have fun with us!

Female attendees are encouraged to bring their own long full-circle skirts or scarves.

$25/class
$15/class for Seniors, Educators, Students and Children
