The programme includes:
– A behind-the-scenes exhibition exploring the influences of salsa, Wing Chun, and Yoruba culture in Ella and Akeim’s research
– A social salsa class open to all — whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned dancer!
– A movement workshop delving into rhythms and creative expression
– A live performance extract from the show Ọkan
– An Afro-Latin DJ set in The Place bar

Come along to move, watch, connect and celebrate the power of art, dance, and community.
