ASHLE DAWSON IS ... GOING TO CUBA!
JANUARY 2017
Join me in Cuba this January and see the island in a truly unique way!
​
Experience Cuba through the eyes of its dancers. MetaMovements Artist Collective has offered us a special rate to help Latin Fusion Dance Project (and some of our dancer-friends and collaborators) to train and experience the real Cuba before it changes forever. I went on this trip on my own last year and it was an absolutely life-changing experience for me. The organizers design the program to fulfill all current US government requirements, and they monitor any changes in laws, keeping the program always in compliance, so you don’t have to worry!
