Dance Your Stress Away

Latino countries around the world are filled with traditional dances, such as salsa, merengue, bachata, cumbia, reggaeton, zapateado, banda, and many more! Each dance showcases different Latin countries. Each dance holds a different meaning and embodies different movements. Salsa, merengue, and cumbia have similar foot movements, however, the overall beat of the music for each genre changes. Banda and bachata are slow and close paired dances, but come from two different Latin countries. Reggaeton and zapateado are the complete opposite from one another, although the music for both are upbeat. In reggaeton you use more of your upper body and in zapateado you mainly use your legs. Although each dance is unique on its own, all of them are guaranteed to help EvCC students, staff, and faculty release some stress from midterms! 

Latinx Student Union, along with TAB, wants to bring some Latin culture to campus. Dance Your Stress Away is the perfect event to learn some dance moves and try some new foods from Mexico and Colombia. There will be traditional snacks and drinks from Mexico, as well as some delicious tacos. To represent the Colombian culture, we will have some traditional foods, such as savory empanadas.

Make sure to come join us at PSU Lounge, at 2pm on May 30th and 31st. You will be able to try some tasty foods and learn some new dance moves!
