There are many aspects to examining my culture through dance. From Religion, practices, traditions, language and the home. I will use traditions practiced through my family’s religion of Santeria, music passed down from my ancestors and movement danced in the rooms of my childhood home. To examine the aspects, which not only make me who I am but make US a people, who have arrived only through a very long journey.
