Experience the Power of Movement with CONTRA-TIEMPO at LACMA’s NexGenLA Family Day!

Step into a world of rhythm, imagination, and collective joy! Join CONTRA-TIEMPO Activist Dance Theater for two vibrant Sabor Sessions, each beginning with a mini-performance that ignites the space with music, color, and storytelling through dance. Rooted in Afro-Latine traditions and social dance, these sessions invite kids, teens, and families to move, groove, and co-create a living work of art together.

Through rhythm and community connection, CONTRA-TIEMPO celebrates the cultural wealth we all carry - our stories, languages, resilience, and dreams. Each Sabor Session is more than a dance class; it’s a celebration of aspirational, familial, and resistance capital - a space where creativity becomes a tool for expression, joy, and empowerment.

Whether you’re a lifelong mover or a first-time dancer, come ready to play, connect, and reimagine what a museum experience can be. Together, we’ll transform LACMA’s galleries into a dance floor filled with imagination and possibility.
