This Friday Night at OMCA, packed full of dance, music and celebration, will kick off with a captivating performance by the Oakland Ballet Company showcasing excerpts from La Luna Mexicana. This enchanting presentation captures the essence of Dia de los Muertos, blending vibrant dance, colorful costumes, and joyous music to honor family and tradition in an elaborate celebration.
Following the ballet, guests will have the opportunity to cultivate their own moves with an introductory Salsa and Bachata lesson led by Samantha Velazquez. This engaging class will introduce guests to the basics of these lively dances, focusing on rhythm, technique, and creative expression in a welcoming and energetic setting. The night wraps up with a dynamic DJ set by Black. Known for her deep-rooted expertise in global rhythms and infectious beats, Black will keep the energy high and the dance floor packed.
In addition to an outstanding event experience, every Friday Nights at OMCA also offers guests a well-rounded gallery experience with Gallery Chats.
