Dance Out of Tradition

about

Traditional Latin dance operates based on strict gender roles: Men lead, and women follow. Flip the script with us for Dance Out of Tradition, a beginner-friendly partner salsa class taught by instructor Nina Osoria Ahmadi where everyone leads and everyone follows — regardless of gender. At this unique experience from We Met in Miami and 10 Days of Connection, we’ll try out different roles on the dance floor. Then we’ll break into small groups for guided conversations on expectations around gender and leadership dynamics in relationships. Looking for a new friend or romantic spark? At We Met in Miami events, we wear wristbands that show others who we are and what we’re looking for (choose one, two or all three): 💚 green for love 💙 blue for friendship 🌈 rainbow for members of the LGBTQIA+ community 💌 if you meet someone special, we’ll help you reconnect after the event Drinks, including alcoholic beverages, will be available for purchase.
