Are you interested in "danza popolare" or the 'dance of the people' of Southern Italy. We have formed a local community group- Cascadanza for those wanting to connect and grow in community through these traditional dances and music. We have two upcoming winter workshops in December and January with Kate Causbie. No dance experience required.
