[Wadabo_updates] Cuban Dance Trip

[wadabo_updates at wadabo.com]

2 - Travel to Cuba to study Dance & Music this January (see attachement)

Dear Friends,

The dance troupe in Cuba I've studied with over the years is offering a
dance and drum instruction workshop in Santiago de Cuba this January. This
will be Cutumba's first program since the Bush administration tightened
restrictions on travel to Cuba in 2004, and almost all US
universities, schools, and
arts groups that organized trips to Cuba had to end their programs.

This dance and drum workshop, taught by members of Ballet Folklorico
Cutumba, is one of the few opportunities to study in Cuba available.

Please see flyer attached to this email. thanks so much!
Grete Viddal

(to comply with current travel restrictions, this workshop is aimed at
professionals such as teachers, musicians, academics, grad students,
and others who qualify for a travel license. the US coordinators will help
potential participants understand the licensing process)

3 - Afro-Colombian Dance Workshop Series - January 13, 18 & 20 (see
Attachment)

*COLOMBIAN FOLKLORIC DANCE* includes a combination of *African, European*and
*Indigenous* rhythms, the historical mix of Colombians. Afro-Colombian
dances are the distinct traditions of Colombians of African heritage.
Through these art forms, the Afro-Colombian community has actively
maintained the traditions of West Africa that arrived in this part of the
Americas during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.  Each class will be focused
on the movement of these customs as well as a brief history of the dance,
movements and details of the customs.
*TO BRING:* A long flowing skirt and bandana for women and a bandana for
men.
