Join us on Saturday, March 8 to build on your lambada experience by adding more flavor to your dancing and better understanding the musicality.
SATURDAY, MARCH 8
Lambada Flavor & Musicality w/ Ashley
Glen Echo Park Ballroom Back Room
6:15 pm - 7:15 pm Lambada Class
7:15 pm - 8:30 pm Lambada Practica
Part of what makes lambada so much fun is the opportunities it provides for explosive musicality. In this workshop, we'll practice using what you know of lambada to connect with the music in different ways both on your own and with a partner. We'll also play with adding your own flavor and style into your dance so you can have even more fun.
After the workshop, we have our lambada practica so you can practice some more with other lambada dancers.
Your ticket for this workshop also includes our evening class and social at Glen Echo. There’s an open level zouk class with Raven from 8:30-9:30pm and after that a social until 1:00am.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Ashley Kent has been dancing from an early age, including training in jazz, tap, ballet, modern, west African dance, salsa, kizomba and Brazilian zouk. She got hooked on afro-latin partner dancing while living abroad in Ghana and Sudan, but when she was introduced to Brazilian zouk in DC in 2012 she fell in love with it. She has studied with top instructors from Brazil, Canada, Spain and the US and has traveled to Brazil to attend several of the most well-known Brazilian zouk festivals and a teacher training with Jaime Aroxa, Renata Pecanha, Jorge Peres, and other top international instructors. Ashley has directed the District Zouk dance team in 2016 and 2017 and has taught at dance festivals including the White House Kizomba/Zouk Summit (2015 and 2016, which she also co-organized), Midwest Kizomba Zouk Afro-Fusion Festival (2016 and 2017), NCZoukfest (2017), Interfusion Festival (2016 and 2017), Baltimore Salsa Congress (2017) and the DC Bachata Congress (2015-2017). She was voted the best instructor at the Midwest Afro-Fusion Festival in 2016, for which she received an award. Ashley loves sharing her love for this dance with the DC dance community and seeing Brazilian zouk in this city continue to grow.
