From the Seattle-Cuba yahoo egroup:

Roberto Borrell will be coming back to Seattle for the last weekend in March to
teach Cuban dance! Tentative schedule will feature Borrell’s multimedia
presentation on Cuban music from the February 2010 Rueda Festival in San
Francisco.

In addition to the listening, popular dance and Afrocuban folkloric classes,
Roberto will teach an Afrocuban folkloric listening class for dancers aimed at
identifying and understanding the rhythms of the bata drums. This is a rare
opportunity to learn Orisha dances the “old school” way: in their cultural
context, not just choreography. Whether you dance at toques or on stage, or just
love the music of the Orishas, this is a great chance to learn from a master
drummer and dancer who himself learned from the great dancers and singers of 
Havana Vieja while growing up  and who danced in the front line of the
Folklorico Nacional.

March 26-28, Friday-Sunday; multimedia presentation on Friday night, details and
location will be announced soon! Folkloric and popular dance classes will be
Saturday and Sunday 1-7 at
My World Dance and Fitness Studio
849 Hiawatha Place South
Seattle, WA  98144

Roberto is also available for private lessons, and can be reached at
