Description

These workshops are an opportunity to learn some of the sacred rhythms and dances used to honour the African gods (Orishas) that have become syncretised with Catholic Saints through the Cuban religious tradition of Santería.

Santería is a vibrant religious tradition, the result of centuries of contact in Cuba between European Catholic elements and traditional African, Yoruba religion.

Learn the movements and dances of the Orishas with expert teacher, Guillermo Davis ‘El Iyawo’.

José and Guillermo are former members of the acclaimed Cuban dance group Danza Libre now based in the UK.

Those who have attended the dance workshops will also have a chance to perform in the evening (as part of the Cuban Orishas – Performance).

This performance, with former members of the acclaimed Cuban dance group Danza Libre, will present aspects of Santería worship alongside some of the stories of the Orishas (Yoruba deities syncretised with Catholic Saints) and their exhilarating songs, rhythms and dances.

For those of you who love Urban style and attitude we're bring to Rocco's (Prince of Wales Rd) this spectacular taste of reggaeton (a fusion of hip-hop and R&B with a latin twist) by the king himself Leandro Charanga from Cuba. Leandro is a natural born Urban dance killer, and he's coming to Norwich to teach and perform for you.

"Leandro’s style is unique and wildly entertaining. His fusion of raw-energy reggaeton from the backstreets of Havana and his classical ballet education could only happen in Cuba. His dance is edgy and athletic, and at the same time full of grace and fun!

A professional dancer and choreographer in Cuba, Leandro studied for 8 years with a leading Havana dance school; renowned for its breadth of teaching and emphasis on the performance arts. He attained teaching qualifications after 2 more years of study and has taught and performed in all the Cuban dance forms; salsa, son, cha cha cha, rumba, afro and, of course, reggaeton. He's worked with leading Cuban & international bands, been principal dancer in Havana's top shows, worked on TV and DVD and been head hunted by leading European dance companies.

Leandro has an enormous heart; his warmth and enthusiasm for dance fills the room. As a teacher and a performer, Leandro is loved on both sides of the Atlantic. He is famous in Cuba, where they call him 'Charanga'."
