Dance Piazza Saturday June 4, 2011

This week's Dance Piazza will feature Lali Chaves of San Juan, Puerto Rico, who will teach Latin dances, including salsa, merengue and bachata, for the first hour, 7 pm to 8 pm! I, “DJ Juju,” will spin Latin dance tunes (Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Reggaeton), along with other world dance music including Afro-beat, Bhangra, Middle Eastern, club, old-school R & B and more... Free to all ages.

Lali was born & raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with a Caribbean passion. She teaches beginning and intermediate levels of Latin dance to individuals, groups and corporate functions to help create more diversity in communities. Her fun and dynamic style will help you to learn the Latino/Latin rhythms with the confidence of dancing to the beat of the music.

Many of these artists will be traveling from very far, to perform and teach at our Dance Piazza in Yellow Springs this year. Let's show them our appreciation and bring friends, family and neighbors and most importantly, the fearless desire to learn new dances and have fun while doing so :-)

Cultivating community through dance...
