About this Event
Get ready - we’ve got an awesome event planned for March 10! We start early with a live Latin drumming music jam with dance instruction at 8pm. By popular demand, we're starting the dance lesson early at 8:30pm, going a full hour, and then move into the party at 9:30pm. We also inaugurate our first monthly "Solidarity Raffle" in support of communities and movements looking to create a better world. Our first raffle will support hurricane relief, sustainable agriculture, and social and economic justice in Puerto Rico. Everyone who comes on March 10 will get a free raffle ticket and chance to win cool prizes donated by local businesses. Extra raffle tickets can be purchased at $1. Spread the word and bring a friend! ¡Hasta la Rumba!
