Sofie introduces traditional and modern dances from the Caribbean and their history – from Cumbia, Merengue to Baile Funk and Reggaeton. Caribbean rhythms connect with our bodies and sparkle with joie de vivre. This is also felt in most Afro-descendant societies, where the concept of community and extended family is very important. This includes all generations singing, dancing and celebrating together. And in that spirit, we do it too – and free ourselves from shame-producing education and hyper-sexualisation.
