\u00a1EL PAQUETE!  Cuban Dance Workshops, Choreo, and Video with Diana and Ethan
📦 Special Delivery! Get ready for the arrival of “El Paquete!”—a Cuban dance experience bursting with workshops, choreo, and video sessions, all bundled up into a beautiful little one-day package for your enjoyment. 💃📹
📦 Conceived by Diana Ruiz and Ethan Wagner to revive some of the legendary Boston-NY collabs of yesteryear, El Paquete will deliver (see what we did there?) workshops across a variety of Cuban genres, including son, casino, suelta, rueda de casino, changüi, and Afro-Cuban contemporary dance.
📦 As you're learning, we'll make sure you also file away your new moves and knowledge to apply later in the day when we put it all together in a choreography as a group. And to cap it all off, we'll head to an ICONIC New York location to capture the day's fun on video :)
📦 So this Paquete is coming your way, PA' QUE TE Luzcas, PA' QUE TE Goces, y PA' QUE TE Sepas!
📦 Get ready for a great day of dance (and, if you're planning to be in New York the next day, you can stick around for the 2026 premiere of Rueda at the Park, the legendary Cuban dance jam at Central Park's Bethesda Fountain) 😄
Want to get your tickets? They're available NOW with special discounts for early birds and out-of-town particpants (get the discount code from Diana or Ethan)!
