Bomba is a music and dance style from Puerto Rico, and the island’s oldest musical tradition.  Originally developed by enslaved Africans and their descendents, the art form incorporates Spanish language songs, west African dance, and indigenous instruments - and is characterized by improvisation and call-and-response between the dancers and the percussionists.   In this all-ages class which combines music and movement instruction, students will learn to sing, play, and dance like a bombero!  This course will be co-hosted with La Sala de Pepe, a community center and social space founded by dancer, teacher, and legend of the Lower East Side, Pepe Flores.
