Come and experience the joy of a Brazilian June festival! In this workshop, you’ll be introduced to the rich folklore of “Festa Junina”, from its origins as a harvest celebration to the communal traditions we celebrate today.

We open with a presentation about the cultural history, and then we’re on our feet for a practical workshop of “quadrilha junina” dance. We swap strict gendered roles for simple colorful scarves, making it beginner-friendly and inclusive for everyone. No partner or experience needed! Just bring your curiosity and comfortable shoes.
