Get ready for Zumba with Andrea Orrego

Zumba is a global dance phenomenon that invites the body and spirit into a state of pure, rhythmic connection. Originally inspired by the vibrant dance traditions of Latin America — Salsa, Cumbia, Merengue, and Reggaeton — Zumba has since grown into a dynamic fusion of world rhythms, blending Afrobeat, Bollywood, Bhangra, Belly Dance, Hip Hop, and more into an electrifying celebration of movement.

At its core, Zumba is about intuitive dance expression. Rather than focusing on strict choreography or technical breakdowns, the structure of a Zumba class mirrors the architecture of music itself — simple, repeatable patterns tied to the chorus, verses, and bridges of each song. This approach allows dancers to anticipate transitions naturally, freeing them from the constraints of counting steps and encouraging a deeper, more instinctive relationship with rhythm.

Zumba invites a profound reconnection to the joy of embodied movement: a space where strength meets sensuality, sweat becomes celebration, and music becomes a global language that transcends borders.
For seasoned dancers, Zumba offers a refreshing invitation to return to the essence of why we dance — not for perfection, but for expression, connection, and exhilaration. It is a journey through cultures, rhythms, and emotions, all channeled through the most ancient instrument we possess: our own bodies.

All dance levels welcome!

Join Anderson Ranch Arts Center for a conversation with Visiting Artist James Casebere, a pioneering visual artist whose work has helped shape the field of constructed photography. For nearly five decades, Casebere has created intricate tabletop models—often inspired by architecture—and photographed them in his studio, transforming simple materials and constructed spaces into evocative images.

Casebere’s multidisciplinary practice also includes large-scale sculpture. Since receiving the Rome Prize in 2019, he has created outdoor sculptures using cross-laminated timber (CLT), as well as indoor sculptures made from burnt bamboo. His work is held in the collections of major institutions including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Walker Art Center, and Tate Museums in London.

As a Visiting Artist at Anderson Ranch, Casebere will engage with the Ranch community through studio work, conversations, and a public lecture. His Visiting Artist Lecture will take place November 3 from 4:30–5:30 p.m. in Schermer Meeting Hall. The lecture is free, open to the public, and available to attend in person or via livestream.
