Joan Rodriguez, dancer and choreographer for the acclaimed Los Angeles-based contemporary dance company BODYTRAFFIC, will lead a workshop about movement fundamentals of Latin and Afro Cuban dance styles that promote exercise and balance.

The workshop is supported in part by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Department of Arts and Culture.

He continues to pursue his creative ambitions in community spaces with students, and developing his craft, choreographing in a variety of environments for professional dance companies (including BODYTRAFFIC), theater productions, television, and film.
BODYTRAFFIC uses the creative spirit of its Los Angeles home as a backdrop for performances that inspire audiences around the globe to simply love dance. Since its founding in 2007 by Artistic Director Tina Finkelman Berkett, the company has held fast to its mission of championing contemporary dance, educating audiences, and inciting positive change.
