AfroCuban Folklore (Yoruba) / Orisha Dance or Danza Folklórica (Yoruba) AfroCubano, is a dance tradition of the Regla de Ocha-Ifá spiritual-religious practice. Students will gain a strong understanding and technical skill of the dances and rhythms of the Orishas to Batá, Güiro, and Iyesá rhythms. Through the AfroCuban rhythms of the Yoruba/Lukumí practice, this course aims to connect the body in the movements of the Afrikan influences, traditions of Cuba, and to the Orishas. Aché!
