About our organization: 

CONTRA-TIEMPO is dedicated to transforming the world through dance. Our unique Urban Latin Dance Theater brings to life voices not traditionally heard on the concert stage. We build community, facilitate dialogue and move youth to imagine what is possible in the world. We fuse Salsa, Afro-Cuban, West African, Hip-Hop, and abstract dance-theater to create an invigorating blend of physically intense and socially astute performance that pushes the boundaries of Salsa as an expressive cultural form. 

Session A: July 5-30

Session B: August 2-27

M-F, 8:30-3:30
