Afro-Cuban Dance Workshop with Anailys

We are thrilled to welcome Anailys Yera Pérez to Seattle to teach Afro-Cuban Dance Workshops. Anailys is an international dancer and teacher celebrated for her powerful interpretation of Afro-Cuban rhythms.

This Afro-Cuban workshop is designed to immerse you in the energy, meaning, and expressive power of Afro-Cuban dance. You’ll learn essential movements rooted in Yoruba, Congo, Arará, and other cultural traditions — exploring their spiritual and historical context through movement.

In this workshop, you will:

• Connect with traditional rhythms and chants from Afro-Cuban culture

• Learn signature movements inspired by different orishas (deities of the Afro-Cuban pantheon)

• Work on technique, isolation, strength, and flow

• Develop deeper body awareness and artistic expression

• Engage in guided improvisation, energy work, and Afro-Cuban musicality

Open to all levels — no previous experience in Afro dance required, just curiosity, respect, and a willingness to learn.
