Dance Lesson | Intro Class: Dance to the Latin Sounds of Cumbia and More


Cumbia music and dance originated in Colombia and is now the hottest dance in Latin America. Cumbia music is sometimes called the mother of all Latin music, including salsa and samba.

You’ll see elements of both swing and salsa in this upbeat social dance and you can dance it with or without a partner. Join renowned Colombian dancer/choreographer Daniel Fetecua and learn the fun and easy moves of Cumbia, and then continue to explore other rich Colombian dances such as bullerengue, puya, fandango, and mapalé.

Lecture | Mark N. Katz discusses his book Leaving Without Losing: The War on Terror after Iraq and Afghanistan

Can the U.S. formulate an effective policy with regard to the War on Terror now that it has withdrawn from Iraq and is in the process of withdrawing from Afghanistan?

Author Reading | Pulitzer Prize winner Jared Diamond discusses his book The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies?


In the book, his first in more than five years, Diamond compares life in modern, industrialized societies with traditional ways of life and argues that traditional societies have much to teach us about conflict resolution, care of elders and children, risk management, multilingualism, and nutrition. With a unique blend of anthropology, sociology, and evolutionary biology, Diamond depicts a way of life that is startlingly different from the way we live today. Focusing on how we can improve contemporary society by learning lessons from the past, Diamond’s message is both urgent and persuasive: With some thought and effort, we can have the best of both worlds.

By replacing the sweep edit with more fluid and organic transitions, and letting scenes and ideas return whenever they feel right, we try to let boundaries between scenes fade until structure becomes invisible and all that’s left is play. Come join us for a set or two!
