Juan De Dios is Coming To New York & Boston!
The Afro Cuban Dance Master of Masters, Juan De Dios, is coming to NYC & Boston on May 8th, 2012! Mark your calendars and tell your friends.
A celebration of Afro-Cuban Dance & Music and the Roots of Salsa, including, Amazing Master Classes, Inspirational Performances, Uplifting Social Gatherings with members of Raices Profundas, Opportunities for personalized instruction and advanced research.
However, based on the complications involved with bringing Cuban artists, this is a “last minute” endeavor. It wasn’t until this week that we were told YES, that they could come. Since that moment, a group of us have come together to create the best homage we can for this living legend…in one week! To show our love and respect for Juan, we have put tremendous collective energy into creating this celebration.
