Wouldn't you love to learn in one class a ritual dance from a far away land? You can with our Virtual Balinese Dance Class! A crowd favorite of ours has been in-person Indonesian dance performances featuring Sinta Penyami Storms and her Modero dance company. From Bali to Us is happy to host Indonesian dance lessons, virtually, featuring Sinta herself.
For this class, join us and experience the classic Rejang Dewa dance, learning the basic Balinese dance positions, posture, and movements. No experience necessary! It’s an exciting way to learn about a rich culture and meet new people, all while conveniently participating from your own home. You can even invite your friends or family across the country to join in as well; a fun time for all!
What we recommend for the class: a sarong and a very long scarf (selendang). If you don't own those, no worries, just come and experience the beauty of Indonesia.

Black History Month Virtual Workshop Series: Hip Hop Jazz Musicology
Wednesday, February 24, 12:30 p.m.
$7 General Admission | Free for AAMP Members!
In our fourth and final edition of the Black History Month Virtual Workshop program, we present Hip-Hop Jazz Musicology with Text Rich Ali. This workshop teaches participants about the social, historical, and musical influences on Hip-hop music and how it relates to other genres within African American traditions. Hip-hop Jazz Musicology creates a forum to bridge our collective understanding of how Hip-hop relates to its predecessors. Each participant contributes to the workshop and is able to walk away enjoying a deeper connection to the story, music, and history that is the African American experience.
