This 3 hour immersion brings empowerment and healing through the Afro-Cuban Yoruba dance to the Orisha Yemaya, preserving a rich tradition which was brought to Cuba during the 17th century and to Australia in the 1990’s.
In this workshop, students will learn aspects of Afro-Cuban dance technique through the Orisha dance of Yemaya, ‘Mother whose children are the fish’.
Note that both men and women are encouraged to enrol in this immersion as the focus will be on body movement, posture, flow and connection to rhythm.
And by the end of the immersion, through a simple Tratado (sequence of rhythms telling a story), students will experience awareness of the relationship between the rhythms, sacred songs, and dance.
A long full-circle skirt or sarong are recommended for these classes. Some skirts available to borrow, and Orisha sarongs available to purchase (limited stock).
