U of Tās first Afro-Caribbean dance workshop: 10/10 would go again and again
This past Monday, Move U and U of Tās Black Studentsā Association hosted the universityās first Afro-Caribbean dance workshop. It was one of many highlights of my four years at U of T. Seriously.

It was led by Arsenio Andrade, who was born and trained in Cuba and has performed internationally, and accompanied by the wonderful drumming talent of Richard āPopcornā Cumberbatch who has been playing Caribbean indigenous drums since the age of 11. There was a great turnout and every single person seemed to be having the time of their lives ā I know I was.
