VA Bomba: Semilla Cultural presents Children's Bomba Dance and Percussion Workshop and Adult Bomba Dance Workshop - Sunday May 18, 2014



By popular demand, we bring you another children's bomba workshop! 

The workshop will cover percussion, basic steps, a dance routine for boys and girls and an individual practice. We encourage you to bring your child to learn and experience Puerto RIcan culture while having fun. Children between 4 and 11 years old are welcome to attend. 

This workshop will be on May 18th, 2014 at 12:30pm at My BodyMovez in Woodbridge. (Just before the adult bomba dance workshop https://www.facebook.com/events/656342584413006/).

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 that dates back to the 1700s, 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.

Let your friends know about this through our facebook event.

For more information, email us: info@semillacultural.org.



We are returning to Woodbridge! If you missed our past workshop, this is your chance! We will be offering a Bomba Dance Workshop at My BodyMoveZ on May 18th, $20 for each teen, adult or senior (men and women). Join us to understand the history, learn the dance and feel the culture!
