About the event
Black Heritage Month: Afro-Latin Family Dance Experience
Celebrate Black Heritage Month with rhythm, movement, and community.
Join us for an interactive Afro-Latin dance class led by professional dancer Nadia Calmet, specializing in the music and movement of the African diaspora in Latin America.
This 1.5-hour experience is designed for children ages 4 and up, and parents are encouraged to dance alongside them.
Together, we will:
• Move to the rhythms of salsa, bachata, merengue, and more
• Explore the African roots of Latin music
• Experience how culture is carried through movement
• Celebrate joy, resilience, and connection
This is not a performance to watch
it’s a class to participate in.
After dancing, families are invited to stay and enjoy light refreshments together.
At Intiwasi, culture is not just studied. It is lived.
