Folk Feet Dance Workshops
Folk Feet Dance Workshops focus on teaching the movement repertoire of specific traditions. Each workshop also provides an overview of the dance’s cultural setting, such as the costume, music and crafts that traditionally accompany it.
Teachers are experts in dances from immigrant-based traditions like Greek syrtos and Brazilian candomblé to such homegrown Brooklyn forms as urban popping and b-boying.
Learn specific dances from a range of cultural traditions and genres such as:
Native American
Puerto Rican bomba
Greek
Korean
Egyptian
Brazilian orixá
Panamanian
Irish
American square dance
Trinidadian limbo and calypso
Polynesian
Dominican
Haitian
Ukrainian
Yiddish
Breaking and electric boogie
Locking and street dance
