Caribeando Community Music and Dance Workshops
Caribbean Music and Dance workshops with Juan Usera and the Sambuco Tribe in Van Cortlandt Park.
Saturdays May, 9, June 6 and August 22 from 2-4pm
Following their inspiring Caribeando performance at the Hostos Center for the Arts and Culture last May, Juan Usera and the Sambuco Tribe is offering an interactive Caribbean Music and Dance workshop in Van Cortlandt Park for the Bronx community.
The Caribeando Community Music and Dance Workshop provides an excellent opportunity to learn and practice Caribbean musical and dance traditions rooted in African heritage. Participants will learn Bomba, Plena, Guaracha, Cha-cha-cha, Merengue, and more. All ages, abilities, and skill levels are welcome to explore the basic rhythms, steps, call-and-response interactions, and shared community joy.
Workshop will be held next to the Enslaved African & Kingsbridge Burial Ground behind the Tennis Courts.
Parking is available in the Van Cortlandt Golf Lot. No driving inside the park allowed.
This series is sponsored by The NYC Green Fund Grassroots Grant Program.
This series is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the New York City Council.
