True Story: 5 minutes before SoulRhythms at the .cna I received a text from my sistahfriend . I said sis… about to teach send mi a song… She said hold on and sent me this PHENOMENAL song by . I had never heard it before, didn’t have time to prepare, but immediately knew it was the “healing” we needed.
From the lyrics to the rhythm, this chuuuun is EVERYTHING🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Here is a snippet of our co creation choreo by my amazing SoulRhythms attendees! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Join us every Monday for SoulRhythms Afro-Caribbean dance workshops. It’s a free community class, no registration required, every body is welcome♥️

What I love the most about facilitating Afro-Caribbean dance at the .cna is the diversity of the dancers that join me every week to simply learn, embrace and celebrate the various facets of Caribbean culture through dance. ☀️🌴🎶 Join the fun! Mondays at 7 p.m.. Every Body Is Welcome! Sessions are absolutely free!
we enjoyed your challenge and hope you enjoy our interpretation with our oldest dancer being 76 years young!♥️Big shoutout to you all who learned this dance in only 45 minutes!!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ #
