Our dancers learning from The Miguel Vargas, Artistic Director and Founder of Bajucol. Massachusetts most predominant Colombian Dance Company. Rhythm we learned Mapalé.

Traditional Afro-Colombian Dance

Mapalé is a vibrant, high-energy dance and musical rhythm originating from Colombia’s Caribbean coast, particularly Cartagena.

Origin: It was created in the 16th century by enslaved West Africans.

Symbolism: The name comes from the Cathorops mapale, a local fish. The dance movements are inspired by the “fish out of water” (performed by men) and the “waves of the sea” (performed by women).

🇩🇴 10 de Febrero | Día Nacional del Folklore Dominicano 🇩🇴

El folklore dominicano es la fusión de herencias taínas, africanas y europeas, reflejada en nuestra música, bailes, carnaval, gastronomía y tradiciones orales que pasan de generación en generación.

Honramos el merengue, la bachata, los palos, los gagás, los atabales y los coloridos personajes del carnaval como los diablos cojuelos, símbolos vivos de nuestra identidad.

Que sigamos preservando, valorando y compartiendo el patrimonio cultural que nos define como pueblo. ❤️
¡Que viva el folklore dominicano! 🎉🇩🇴

Dear friends, supporters, and CLDA family,

On behalf of Cultura Latina Dance Academy, we want to extend our deepest gratitude for joining us at our Annual Gala Fundraiser. Your presence, generosity, and enthusiasm made the evening truly special and helped us move one step closer to our mission.

Because of you—our attendees, sponsors, performers, volunteers, staff, and community partners—our gala was a beautiful celebration of culture, unity, and collective impact. Every contribution, every performance, every act of service, and every moment shared helped elevate the night, filling it with purpose and joy.

We are proud to share that together we met our fundraising goal and exceeded it with a total of $23,570, and we are sincerely grateful for your continued support. These efforts directly empower our students, strengthen our programs, and allow us to keep creating opportunities that uplift our community.

To our incredible personnel and volunteers: thank you for your tireless dedication, professionalism, and heart. Your hard work behind the scenes made the event seamless and unforgettable.

To our guests and sponsors: thank you for believing in our mission and for standing with us. Your commitment fuels our growth and helps ensure that our cultural traditions continue to flourish for generations to come.

We look forward to welcoming you again next year and continuing this meaningful journey together.
With gratitude and appreciation,
Yajaira "Yaya" Rodriguez, Founder & Chief Executive Officer
