California State Grant – ACTA – 

The Alliance for California Traditional Arts

PROJECT

“Katiuska Lebental is mentoring Cecilia Slongo in Afro-Cuban folkloric dance. This mentorship will enhance Cecilia’s understanding of the specificity of the dances of the Orishas (divine spirits), leading to improved dance skills, cultural awareness, and a deeper comprehension of the evolution of Yoruba heritage in Cuba.

ACTA is a statewide and national leader dedicated to supporting cultural practitioners and their communities. ACTA aims to serve as a bridge between cultural communities, providing opportunities for exchange, collaboration, and connection to new resources.”
