Calabasa Calabasa: Dancing and Making the Music of Life is on a mission to spread joy dancing, singing in English, Spanish, Yoruba, Hebrew, Haitian Creole, and Twi, and making a joyful shekere noise. Our mission is to respond to the times with the roots and traditions of the African and Caribbean diaspora to reflect spirituality, social justice, and respect for and recognition of women. Our favorite places to perform are community events.
