Over two days, participants will learn four dances inspired by the living traditions of the Philippines, while exploring the movement, stories, and cultural knowledge connected to each tradition. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from accomplished Filipino dance artists and Culture Bearers and deepen our connection to the diverse cultural traditions of the Philippines. Workshop Options 2-Day Pass — $125 Includes both days of instruction and all four dances. Single-Day Pass — $70 Choose one day of instruction and learn the dances taught that day. Dance + Food Combo — $100 Planning to join our Food Workshop on Sunday morning? A special discounted combo ticket is available for those who want to participate in both! Please note: The Food Workshop overlaps with Sunday morning's dance instruction, so the Dance + Food Combo does not include the overlapping Sunday morning dance session.
