Creative Family Fusion Groove Dance with Anna MaytaCreative Family Fusion Groove Dance: An engaging and creative class that promotes fitness through various forms of world dance and creative movement exercises. I fuse traditional styles of dance from India, West Africa, Spain, and Latin America with modern techniques. This work brings together different cultures and shows linkages between seemingly different styles of dance. This class is geared towards the young family members, but parents are invited to join in the fun with the combined adult & child registration!
