INÉS ARRIBAS TO OFFER POPULAR WORKSHOP ON LATIN DANCE

On Monday, March 1, Senior Lecturer in Spanish Inés Arribas will offer her perennially popular "Taller de baile latino," a workshop on Latin dance, at 7 p.m. in the Goodhart Music Room. The workshop, part of the Spanish Department's weekly cultural series, will be conducted in Spanish, but series organizer Lecturer in Spanish Peter Koelle says that those who are sufficiently determined to cut a rug can easily overcome the language barrier to participate. Arribas' presentation will include a brief discussion of the cultural and historical contexts of cha-cha, merengue, salsa and flamenco dances before a demonstration of basic steps.

Arribas, the author of La literatura de humor en la España democrática, has done research in several areas of Spanish cultural studies, including studies of the history of the flamenco dance tradition. Her most recent work concerns representations of gypsies in Spanish literature and film.
