Salsa celebrates Valentine's Day
It's "Havana Meets New Orleans" with a partner social dance lesson and party from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday at The Studio, 177 E. Bunnell Ave. Eddie Wood teaches Cuban "son" dancing, also known as salsa, and then students will enjoy their new dance steps with a party. Wood teaches the basics of framing with a partner and dance to the steps of rhythm and blues and soul and funk that came out of New Orleans and share the same connection to popular music styles of African American music from America and Cuba.
To register or for more information, call 235-6160. No experience is necessary.
Eurythmy workshop coming up
Evelyn Anthony, resident eurythmyist from the Aurora Waldorf School in Anchorage, visits Homer Feb. 20-25 to teach eurythmy workshops. Eurythmy, German for "beautiful rhythm," is a dance-like form of movement that involves the whole human being in the visible expression of poetry and music in space. Eurythmy is practiced in Waldorf School curriculums and is done as a healing art as well as for performance. Students interested in participating should call 235-7326.
