The artists of Los Angeles-based activist dance theater company CONTRA-TIEMPO Jannet Galdamez and Ruby Morales will perform an excerpt of work from the company's repertory.

The dancers will then lead a community "Sabor Session" (from the Spanish word for "flavor") where participants will be guided through Afro-Latin social dance forms that are rooted in radical joy and exercises that promote community engagement. 

Join the procession to Harvard Dance Center (starting from Gray's Hall in Harvard Yard) at 4:30pm!

For all abilities and levels of experience. No prior dance experience necessary! 

This is part of a dynamic two-day engagement with CONTRA-TIEMPO. See below for the full itinerary of events.
