Choreographer, dancer, and teacher Katherine Kramer presents an overview of Latin dance for educators. Working in a dance studio, Katherine and participating dancers and drummers demonstrate some of the dance traditions of Cuba; how the dances and music are related; and the vital role of the claves, simple percussion sticks, in organizing both the music and the dance. Basic exercises that can be incorporated in the classroom are also included.

Audience: teachers, all levels
