Cuban Folklore

Kids & Youth Program

Come dance with us on the way to the Cuban Pavilion..

Dance World is delighted to offer our Cuban Folklore Youth and Kids Program, with the support from the Friends of the Cuban Arts Association, where we are able to offer an opportunity to our kids and youth to explore the enchanting world of Cuban music, rhythms and sound.

Through expert instruction, our students will learn about distinct Cuban rhythms, dance forms, music styles and legends that are deeply rooted in Afro-Cuban heritage, with the opportunity to perform during the week of Folklorama’s Cuban Pavilion happening in August 2025.
