International Moves and Foods
Free Summer Dance Series in collaboration with the Esplanade Association.
Join us for International Moves and Foods, starting Monday July 13th in partnership with the Esplanade Association. This free dance series is led by local professional teaching artists and culture bearers who share dance traditions that connect us & reflect us right here in Boston and across the globe.
Each week will bring a new style, supportive learning environment, and great music to guide us through class. Following a 60-minute class, participants are invited to enjoy free food and beverages from local restaurants for a chance to connect socially! Classes meet on Mondays, 6:00PM – 7:30PM, July 13 – August 17.
We are thrilled to welcome an exploration of dance that includes Lindy Hop with JD Davis (July 13), Haitian Folkloric with Jean Appolon (August 3) and Bachata & Merengue with Anara Frank of Meta Movements (August 17). All other class announcements will be updated weekly!
