AfroCuban Hip Hop Workshop
Hip hop culture, its dance and music has become universal and has influenced music all around the world. The complex intoxicating music of Cuba has made its mark all over the world as well. Put these two styles of music together, and BAM!!!! Cuban influenced Hip Hop, can it get any better? Not for me! These are my two loves.
This workshop is a fun exploration into the merging of the dance styles born of these two cultures with the unique sounds of Cuban Hip Hop Music. This will be a very accessible avenue to the intricate movements of Afro-Cuban dance while integrating the related grooves we find in Hip Hop.
