About This Event
Join us for our second annual Live Latin Percussion Dance Workshop on May 30th, 2026, at Drum Jouneys of Earth in Rutland, VT. This year, we will be mixing it up and offering a little something different and out of the ordinary. All of the workshops will be accompanied by live percussion instead of recorded music, making it a very unique and one-of-a-kind event. Bachata Rueda: If you have loved being part of the growth of Rueda de Casino in VT, you are sure to love Bachata Rueda. This workshop will be beginner-friendly and teach you Bachata Rueda calls and body movements while dancing in the circle to live Bachata percussion. Casino with UV Casineros: The UV Casineros always bring the fun. Warren Kadoya will be offering a master class in Casino Partnerwork. Our percussionists will support your mastery with live Timba percussion. Rumba/Guaguanco Styling: We'll finish our afternoon with a styling intensive in Rumba/Guaguanco. Add these elements to your salsa shines or Casino Partnerwork. This class promises to make you feel more confident on the dance floor and will be accompanied by live Rumba percussion. ๐ Event Schedule: 12:00-12:30 Check-in 12:30 Bachata Rueda workshop with Julia and Jano 2:00 Casino with UV Casineros 3:30 Rumba/Guaguanco Styling with Jano 5:00 - 7:00 Dinner break in Rutland 7:00 - 10:00 Latin Dance Social ๐ Prices $50 Full day pass for workshops and social $10 Just the Social https://embodiedartsbyrix.com/ * Dontations for drummers and percussionists will be collected at event.
