CUMBIA FOR KIDS is a music program that introduces 3rd graders to Colombian music, culture, and dance.
During 8 weekly workshops, students will learn about the diverse music and dance traditions, instruments, and culture of Colombia’s four geographic regions from the cowboy music of the Llanos Orientales to the African rhythms of the Pacific Coast. Children also learn about the geography, clothes, food, history, and customs of Colombia’s diverse regions. The program is designed to prepare students to enter the stage for a fully-choreographed show where kids sing, dance, and drum along with professional members of Folklore Urbano. Performances will be scheduled mid-way and after the final class. The program is presented by world-renowned Folklore Urbano. Pablo and Anna Mayor lead the musical portion of the program, teaching kids basic drum patterns and Spanish language through song.
Dancer/choreographer Daniel Fetecua leads kids in dance and creative movement inspired by Colombia’s diverse dance traditions.

Bethany Arts Community is proud to announce the first of many Hispanic Dance and Music programs we’ll be bringing to the region. Join us for a family friendly presentation of rhythm and culture featuring two diverse groups of artists. This event brings you innovative Flamenco dance led by the award-winning Rebeca Tomás and modern Colombian music by world-renowned Folklore Urbano. These artists have performed in venues around the world and are excited to be sharing their talents with their Hudson Valley neighbors. The energy they bring to our performance space will get your hands clapping and your feet stomping, and make it hard to stay in your seats!
We are also delighted to announce that, soon after these artists are done entertaining you, they’ll be sharing their skills with our youngest neighbors. Both groups will be teaching Bethany’s first children’s programs offered to students of the Ossining School District. This is just the start of Bethany’s Hispanic Dance & Music program. Look out for more performances and classes in the future!
