An explosion of Latin Moves
Salsa, samba, meringue and more come to life in this fun Latin dance class. Shimmy and shake to the beats of the Latin world from Cuba to Brazil. This class will be enjoyed by all and no partnering is expected. Come with family, friends, or solo and be transported to a wild discothèque and a Caribbean beach resort through the movements of the dance. Led by Ingrid Menendez, Dance Houston Staff
Science of Dance Presentation
See dance like you never have before on the big screen at the IMAX Theater. In conjunction with the Body Worlds 2 exhibit, the Houston Museum of Natural Science is hosting a series of presentations on the science of dancing. The first of four seminars is with our beloved Randall Flinn of Ad Deum Dance Company. While showing videos of his work, he will tell you not only about his creative process but also the science behind the magic of dance.
