Experience the rich traditions of Caribbean folk dance through movement and storytelling with dance artist Shelly Ann McLeod
About this Event

Behind every beat and every step is a story.

This Caribana season, step into the world of Caribbean folk dance and discover the history, culture, and traditions carried through movement.

More than learning choreography, this interactive, beginner-friendly workshop explores how dance has long been used to celebrate community, preserve heritage, and express resilience across the Caribbean. Through movement and storytelling, you'll learn foundational folk dance steps while gaining a deeper appreciation for the rhythms and traditions that continue to shape Caribbean identity.

Led by Trinidad and Tobago-born dance artist, educator, and choreographer Shelly Ann McLeod, this hands-on experience blends cultural learning with joyful movement in a welcoming environment.

Whether you're reconnecting with your roots or experiencing Caribbean folk dance for the first time, you'll leave with new skills, deeper cultural insight, and a greater connection to the stories behind every step.
