THIS Friday 7pm at DANCE NORTH COUNTY, 535 Encinitas Blvd, 92024.
Pre-2020 our classes were always on Fridays. Remember that?!? Then the studio became unavailable so we switched. It’s so fun to end the work week exhausted and drained, then be re-energized by the dance and music, and remember why you’re alive in the first place. You’re not alive to be a cog in the capitalist machine. You deserve to dance. Bring the kids- they can dance or chill on the sidelines. There is plenty of seating.

Dele Husbands of doesn’t mince words or coddle you. She teaches with tough love and humor, and makes sure you’re getting the most out of a class. It’s no surprise that Dele and her company’s Artistic Director Abdel Salaam just won the Keeper of the Flame award at the Abundance Awards in Brooklyn. Dele is deeply connected to her work and, despite having projects in NYC and Nigeria, she has always shown so much love to our San Diego community.
