Ancestral Technologies: Igniting Your Inner Rhythms with CONTRA-TIEMPO
CONTRA-TIEMPO invites you on a vibrant journey connecting to the deep roots of dance as a powerful form of storytelling, resistance, and community building. More than just steps, these ancestral technologies explore the embodied wisdom passed down through generations, drawing inspiration from global movement traditions and fusing them with contemporary expressions.

Discover your body's innate intelligence: Through guided improvisations, rhythmic explorations, and dynamic sequences, you'll tap into your own unique movement vocabulary and unlock a deeper understanding of how your body communicates.
Connect to the pulse of history: We'll delve into the rich tapestry of ancestral dance practices, exploring their cultural significance and how they continue to resonate in our lives today. This isn't about replicating the past, but about finding the threads that connect us to it and using them to weave our own stories.
Ignite your creativity and self-expression: CONTRA-TIEMPO teaching artists foster a supportive environment where you can explore your creative potential, push your boundaries, and discover new ways to express yourself through movement.
