Bomba is a traditional music and dance genre from Puerto Rico with African roots. It features a dynamic exchange between drummers and dancers, where dancers set the rhythm with their movements, and drummers respond. This vibrant art form is a powerful expression of cultural identity and heritage, often performed at community celebrations.
Our classes provide a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture and dance of Puerto Rican Bomba. Whether you're a curious beginner or have prior experience, you're welcomed into a friendly and inviting environment to learn and enjoy this traditional art form.
