In this workshop, Kara Roseborough will lead participants in an immersion into the energetic world of Bomba, an Afro-Puerto Rican dance form that emphasizes improvisation and individual expression. This 60-minute workshop, featuring live accompaniment, will guide you through the fundamentals of Bomba, focusing on rhythm, body movement, and personal storytelling. No prior dance experience is required—just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to explore this powerful and liberating dance style!
