Forget the cold, wet Portland winter and put on your dancing shoes because
we’re bringing our Zócalo alive with danzón!
Danzón is not
only the official dance of Cuba, but it’s also very popular in the Gulf Coast
state of Veracruz in Mexico, particularly in the main plazas of Veracruz,
Oaxaca and Mexico City as well as in yearly festivals across the country.
Now you can have the chance to learn the basic steps and get out on the dance
floor of our Zócalo when Miracle offers a free eight-week danzón class led by
folkloric dance teacher Kenya Marquez (who you may recall from last month’s
Posada Milagro) and partner Alberto Romero (who was seen onstage in our Day of
the Dead show, ¡Viva la
Revolución!).
