As part of this year's Celebrando project, on June 23, 2004, we offered our community the opportunity to experience an exciting Bomba and Plena dance workshop with our special guest Paracumbe' from Puerto Rico. All ages and dance skill levels were welcome! In addition to many new and familiar faces who came from our local community, we were delighted to host approximately 20 children from the Performing Arts Academy musical theatre summer camp. Paracumbe's workshop, set to live music and drums, shared the history behind the styles of music and dance found in Southern Puerto Rico. Children and adults alike enjoyed learning to dance Bomba and Plena. A good time was had by all! We hope you enjoy these memories!
