Dancing For Birth is a weekly fitness and labor readiness class for those who are preconception, pregnant and postpartum, however, all people are welcome for this Thursday’s event.
Cumbia originated in Columbia as a courtship dance. The basic beat was brought to the Caribbean Columbian coast by African slaves who ultimately rebelled and started their own town. This music and dance is a result of blending with the music and customs from indigenous people, European settlers and Mexico as well.
Spring is a great time to celebrate living freely, growing new love and life together.
If you have a long or flouncy skirt, wear it for fun and flair! Otherwise, come as you are. We’ll have scarves and veils that can be used in place of skirts.
