The Academy of Cuban Folklore & Dance welcomes the participation of all who are interested in learning about Cuban dance & music regardless of age, gender or experience. José Carrión, former principal dancer & corps professor of Ballet  Folklórico Cutumba de Santiago, now teaches dance & percussion on a regular basis out of his Seattle-based studio. His performance group, ¡Todo Folklore! brings to life the folkloric traditions intrinsic to Cuba’s living legacy. On stage or off, it’s an honor & privilege for José to share with you the knowledge & experience he acquired over the 25 years spent dancing with Cutumba.
