Mestizos Dance Festival
Sun 17 Nov @ 10:00 am
???? Mestizos Dance Festival – A Day of Dance, Music & Culture!
Join us for the Mestizos Dance Festival, where we celebrate the fusion of cultures and honor Brazil’s Black Consciousness Day (20th November). The 2025 festival highlights the deep connections between Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Cuban dances, both influenced by West African traditions. It’s a day to experience these vibrant rhythms and movements, and to remember that, after all, we are all Mestizos—united by our shared heritage.
???? Date: 17th November
???? Time: from 10am to 10pm
???? Location: Jackson Square – The Venue
Join us for a full day of Afro-Brazilian and Cuban dance workshops, live music, social dancing, and incredible performances! We are excited to host international artist Damaris Hechevaria, who will teach a range of styles including Cuban Salsa Lady Style, Cuban Timba Style, Musicality, and Afro-Cuban Movements (Yoruba, Arará, Congo, Franco-Haitian, and Rumba dances), as well as Cuban Popular Dances (Son, Mambo, Cha-Cha-Cha, Pilón, Mozambique).
The day will also feature Capoeira and Afro-Brazilian traditional dances, with a full line-up to be released soon! After a day of workshops, enjoy live music with Brazil Nuts Orchestra, social dancing, and a show with both international and local award-winning artists.
