What to expect.
This workshop highlights the celebration of Caribbean Carnival and resilience movement. Participants are Led by 2 instructors through a series of moves beginning with a physical warm up, leading into a carnival dance routine, and ending with a cypher similar to that of "being on the road to carnival". All are encouraged to bring a rag or flag representing one of the Caribbean nations (flags will also be provided). Get ready to learn about the rich culture of Soca, how Soca music and dance encompasses resilient movement, and how resilient movement can help us heal and connect socially and emotionally.
What is Soca?
Soca is life's carnival! It's the way in which Caribbean people make life more colorful and vibrant. We fete together, laugh together, show up for each other, support one another, and share happy moments together. That is the essence of Soca. It's Joy that we take with us everywhere: to school, work, shopping for groceries, to the shower, to bed, and every morning when we wake up. Soca is Culture, Freedom, Love and Unity.
