Latin Social Dance Class with CONTRA-TIEMPO

The Ordway would invites you to a Latin Social Dance Class with CONTRA-TIEMPO, a social activist dance company from L.A. that takes Latin social dancing to new heights!  Ana María Alvarez, founder and director, will make personal appearances at a number of Twin Cities schools and community organizations. Best of all, she and her company members are leading two salsa dance classes open to the general public on Monday and Tuesday evenings. This workshop offers you the rare opportunity to learn Casino Rueda: Cuban Salsa danced in a circle with frequent partner changes. CONTRA-TIEMPO will also introduce you to concepts of “compassionate partnering.” This class will certainly leave you feeling inspired, productive, engaged, and communicating better with barriers broken down. No partner is required and any level of experience is welcome.
