This Spring, FolkCOLOMBIA will teach three Colombian music and dance traditions:

• “El Porro”, a rhythm from the Atlantic coast, with master drummer Nes Gomez leading the class

• “El sanjuanero”, Rubén Dario Mejia (Dance teacher) will present the sanjuanero, the Andean tradition at its finest.

• “Las Farotas”, master dance teacher Karla Florez will be instructing the classes in this cultural expression of dance from Colombia’s Atlantic coast.

Classes are held on Saturday mornings starting March 9. For more information email: folkcolescuela@gmail.com.
