🗓 Fourth Sundays
🕖 7:00–9:00 PM
Get swept up in the infectious rhythm of Cumbia, a beloved tropical dance known throughout Latin America and beyond. Rooted in a vibrant fusion of African, Indigenous, and Western influences, cumbia’s steady beat and playful turns make it impossible to stay still.
What Is Cumbia Dance?
Cumbia is primarily a partner dance filled with turns, groove, and joyful energy, but it’s also easy to learn and always fun. The evening begins with a 30-minute beginner-friendly lesson, followed by social dancing to a variety of cumbia styles from different countries across Latin America.
No experience required, just come ready to move and enjoy the rhythm.
