REGISTRATION REQUIRED

Connect at the Temple to Music with ancestral wisdom through Afro-Latin Dance! Learn choreography for our upcoming activist dance opera, The Historical Fantasy of Esek Hopkins, while also learning about the embodied history of Mande, West African, Afrobeats, Dancehall, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Vogue and Hip Hop dance styles.

All bodies are welcome — crying babies, youth, chosen families, mothers, fathers, elders, BIPOC folks and LGBTQ+ folks. Come late, leave early, or ignore all directions and do your own thing. Haus of Glitter classes are an invitation for you to love your body. Bring water and a yoga mat (and/or towel or blanket) to practice.
