Es una clase de baile que transmite el patrimonio cultural de los bailes tradicionales de Colombia.
Esta clase está diseñada para aprender y realizar bailes tradicionales de Colombia influenciados por las culturas indígenas españolas, africanas y nativas americanas.
Mi sueño es crear un espacio para que la comunidad acceda y aprenda los bailes tradicionales colombianos, dentro de un contexto histórico y cultural. Al mismo tiempo que permite a cada individuo expresarse, disfrute el momento y conéctese entre sí a través de la música y el movimiento. Los bailes en los que trabajamos y creamos se irradiarán en toda la comunidad a través de eventos, como talleres.
Quiero compartir el legado y la herencia de mis raíces colombianas en la comunidad de Seattle. Este proyecto es muy importante para mí porque como maestra, bailarina, mujer, inmigrante, madre y ciudadana estadounidense, tengo un profundo deseo de transmitir, mantener vivo y honrar mis raíces colombianas a través de la modalidad de baile a la comunidad de Seattle.
URBAN LATIN DANCE
sumérgete en los barrios latinos con una mezcla de auténticos ritmos latinos: salsa, merengue, reggaetón, dancehall, cumbia, hip hop latino, electro-tropical y más y un ambiente relajado. Esta es una clase festiva para celebrar la vida tal como es, en este momento, con música y danza estimulantes. Sigue el ritmo, déjate llevar y diviértete.
BELLY & SHIMMIES
is inspired & fusioned of numerous Belly Dance styles. This beautiful art form celebrates women of all types in a comfortable and energizing atmosphere while build confidence, body comfort, coordination and awareness. A great opportunity to have fun trying out basics like hip shimmies, drops and lifts and infinity loops, plus snake arms, shoulder shimmies, some turns and traveling. Then, you will learn to connect individual movements into small combinations.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Muriel
Since my husband gave me a beautiful hip scarf years ago for Christmas I have been dreaming of taking some belly dance classes. But I never dared push the door of a studio to make my dream come true. So after the gyms closed in March and I started to take my fitness classes online, I was thrilled to learn that Maria, with who I have been taking Urban Latin Dance classes since a while, was starting a new Belly dance class. I couldn't miss that opportunity, and since that day I enjoy her fantastic belly dance classes twice a week. An absolute must try.
Jane
What could be better than twirling around with a huge silk scarf to exciting Egyptian music? I am 73 years old and was looking for a fun way to shake my hips and get some good exercise! Maria always has interesting dance combinations and is very patient and helpful. Can’t wait for her class every week
Fabiana
I leave every class with Maria feeling happy, wanting to do it all over again!! She is fun, energetic and unique! I absolutely recommend her class to anyone looking for a fun fitness class while also learning to dance. See you soon, Maria!
Teresa
I've been taking fitness dance classes for about 10 years. From all the classes I've taken through those years, Maria's Urban Latin class is on my top 3 favorite classes. Maria is fun, picks great music and creates unique coreographies. Her class is very versatile; while you get a workout you also get to be sexy and learn some Latin moves. You won't regret trying her class.
