Join choreographer and educator Marisol Blanco for an immersive Afro-Cuban folk dance experience presented as part of MOAD Moves in the Knight Skylight Gallery at the Freedom Tower. Accompanied by three live percussionists and a vocalist, participants will be guided through traditional movements rooted in the cultural and spiritual practices of the Afro-Cuban dance. This interactive session offers a unique opportunity to connect with rhythm, history, and embodied storytelling through dance.
