Afro-Cuban Ogun rhythms, Sundays Mar 17- May 12, 12:30pm-2:00pm. $199.99 for 8-classes/$30 drop in.
8-class series exclusively on the steps, body movement, and rhythms of the warrior orisha Ogun, the powerful warrior Orisha associated with iron, truth, & justice. Ogun's powerful dance movements & steps are featured often in Salsa Afro-Cuban shines, and here we're exploring the dance much deeper! Join us as we dance in detail to the steps, body movement, and rhythms of Ogun....with Sarita Leyva; professor of Cuban dance from York University's School of Fine Arts & alumna of Cuba's prestigious Arts school; ENA(Escuela Nacional de Arte). Come explore the roots!
To give context, this Cuban folkloric dance is from the Yoruba dance complex in Cuba. These Afro-Cuban ryhthms precede the dances of modern-day Cuba, and the rhythms, steps & body movement of the Orisha dances influenced the development of Rumba, Son, & Salsa.
Sarita’s extensive dance history includes being an alumna of:
-ENA(Escuelas Nacionales de Arte); one of the top national dance schools in Cuba.
-Domingo Pau; a living encyclopedia of Cuban dances.
-Isaias Rojas; director and founder of Compañía BanRará.
-Juan Teodoro Florentino; choreographer and musician of Ballet Folklórico Cutumba.
-Ernestina Quintana "Nenita"; dancer and founder of Compañía de Danza Contemporánea de Cuba.
The Afro-cuban dance complex (Yoruba/Kongo/Arara/Carabali/Rumba) have many dances within them, which are challenging enough on their own. This series is focusing exclusively on Ogun of the Yoruba complex to ensure maximum retention. Sarita will focus exclusively on the steps, intention, rhythms, body movement & history of this specific Afro-Cuban dance. Limited spots available, so book early to reserve your spot!
*No classes on long weekends
*15% of proceeds will go straight to over-the-counter medicine to locals in Havana, Cuba.
