Experience the vibrant intersection of ballroom Vogue and African diasporic dance in this high-energy, immersive workshop with Omari Wiles, founder of Les Ballet Afrik.
This session invites dancers of all levels to explore the technique, history, and cultural roots of Afro-Fusion, a style that boldly blends the fierce, expressive language of Vogue with the grounded, rhythmic traditions of African movement. Omari will guide participants through not just the steps, but the story and spirit behind this dynamic dance form.
