Join us this Wednesday night 6pm at the Ojai Art Center for a unique music and dance experience! All ages are welcome⭐️

✨World music comes alive when you dance to live acoustic music! This talented, multi-instrumentalist duet from Chicago brings you a world of fun as they lead you through traditional line and circle dances from many different cultures, ranging from Balkan and Greek to French Canadian and much more. Their music is also fun to just listen to!

✨About the Band✨
Founded in 1990, the Hi-Dukes tour in Europe, Canada, and across the U.S.A., pleasing audiences at fests, concerts, corporate events, and private parties. This eclectic group transports your soul (and soles), on an exciting worldbeat dance tour. Audiences experience a spectrum of sound colors and mesmerizing melodies at any performance by this experienced, energetic band. There is something for every taste in their repertoire, from Greek “Blues” (rembetika) songs to bouncy Serbian kolos, from Turkish / Sephardic love songs to magical melodies and asymmetrical meters (such as 9/8) from the Macedonian Gypsy tradition, from French Canadian dance tunes to songs about ravens and rabbits from Medieval Denmark.

“They have an amazing repertoire … they have that authentic chutzpah that makes the music come alive … This band knows how to reach everyone, regardless of age or background.” - Michigan’s BlissFest Festival

A fun, technique and choreography-based class blending salsa shines with Latin fusion movement, styling, and creative expression.

It can include arm, body and head movement, spins, isolations and add overall attitude to your salsa dancing. Class begins with a salsa warm up, basic footwork and technique and includes a combination to enhance memory, balance, strength, exploration of musicality and self-expression! Salsa shoes are optional.
