Bomba is a traditional fast-paced rhythmic music and dance style created by African slaves in Puerto Rico over 400 years ago. This music and dance style originated in Loiza and was used as a form of communication between slaves. It is celebrated as a form of self and community expression today. The bomba dancer moves as she wishes, and the drummers follow her lead. Visitors will learn and participate in the rhythms of bomba and appreciate the freedom of the dance style. This activity is different than others because you directly learn from the local community. Sheila, our dance instructor, travels worldwide to showcase Bomba, and she is excited to continue the tradition with you.
