Afro Cuban & Boogaloo Workshop
We’re excited to have Alex Diaz, founder of Furor Entertainment, leading our Afro-Cuban and Boogaloo-centric workshop this weekend. With 26 years of dancing experience, Alex brings a deep expertise and a profound passion for these vibrant dance forms.
His Cuban roots and extensive background will guide us through 10 hours of focused instruction on Afro-Cuban rhythms and Boogaloo moves. Expect to dive into the rich traditions of Afro-Cuban folklore, rumba, casino, mambo, and boogaloo as Alex shares his unique blend of knowledge and skill. This workshop is a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in these energetic dance styles and learn from one of the most experienced dancers in the field!
