Cumbe is excited to kick off 2013 with a series of Absolute Beginner Workshops!

These are introductory classes designed to make the shyest new dancers feel welcome, have fun, and build the confidence to get on the dance floor. If you’ve always wanted to start dancing but felt intimidated, these are for you! Or if you want to get back to basics and learn the footwork from the ground up, this is also for you. One dance style will be taught every week for a month, so you can build your knowledge and confidence and feel ready to enter an Open level class. All classes are just $10.
