Thursday, October 29, 2026 | 6:00–8:00 PM
Naropa University Campus | Boulder, Colorado
Featuring Musa Starseed — Author, Movement Educator & Founder of Social Dance Mastery
Have you ever wanted to truly feel rhythm in your body, move naturally with music, or experience a deeper connection with another person through dance?
Join us for Salsa & Soma, a welcoming evening of Afro-Latin music, embodied movement, and social dancing!
Through the infectious rhythms of salsa, merengue, bachata, and more, we'll explore how to integrate rhythm into the body, coordinate movement with a partner, and discover the freedom of authentic self-expression.
Whether you're stepping onto the dance floor for the first time or have been dancing for years, this experience is designed to help you connect more deeply with yourself, the music, and others.
6:00 PM — Opening Book Talk with Musa Starseed
We begin with an engaging conversation featuring Musa Starseed, author of Social Dance Dynamics. Discover the fascinating relationship between music, movement, body awareness, and human connection—and how dance can transform the way we relate to ourselves and others.
6:45 PM — Salsa & Soma Movement Class
Get ready to move! Through fun, accessible movement exercises inspired by salsa, merengue, bachata, and Afro-Latin rhythms, we'll explore musicality, coordination, body motion, and partner connection. Learn to feel the beat, express yourself naturally, and communicate through movement.
