Havana Rhythm & Dance Festival
MARCH 7 -11, 2019
Eli "Lady" Pabon of MetaMovements Artists Collective invites you to join us for 5 exciting days in Cuba, filled with Music, Dance, & Cultural exchange! Enjoy workshops, performances, and some of our featured cultural exchange activities alongside one of the best festivals that Havana has to offer - the 18th Edition of Fiesta Del Tambor (Festival of the Drum).
​
Every year this event draws top musicians, percussionists, and dancers from Cuba & abroad for concerts, gala performances, competitions and master workshops. Whether you are a professional dancer or musician, a beginner just starting to take classes, or simply a cultural enthusiast, we have designed a special program that enables you to experience in the best moments of the festival ... while still enjoying the most popular components of our signature trips-- in a cultural immersion like no other!
