Ever heard a Latin beat blasting from a club or restaurant and wished you could join the fun? Learn to step, shimmy, and swing your hips to the hottest mambo and cha-cha beats in town!

Whether you are just beginning or looking to polish your Latin style, LGBTQ Latin Dance at the Washington DCJCC is the class for you. Even if you took the summer LGBTQ Club Latin class, you will learn two new dances which will improve upon the choreography you already know!

The class will cover rhythm, movement, lead-follow, and choreography—concepts applicable to dancers of all levels, from social to competitive. Take your inner Latin hips out in to the open and up to the next level in a fun and friendly LGBTQ setting.

Eyes Wide Open
Washington DC Premiere

Cost: $10, $9 Washington DCJCC Member/Student/Senior
Tickets on sale soon!

2009 - Israel - Hebrew/Yiddish (with English subtitles) - 90 minutes
Directed by: Haim Tabakman

Aaron, a respectable butcher in Jerusalem's ultra-orthodox Jewish community, is married to Rivka and is a dedicated father of four children. One day, he hires Ezri, a handsome twenty-two year old student, as an apprentice and soon develops feelings for him.

As the relationship grows, Aaron starts to neglect his family and community life, swept away by his love--and lust--for Ezri. But a foreboding guilt, inner torment and intense condemnation from the community catch up with him, leading him to make a radical decision.

Presented in partnership with the 16th Street J's Screening Room
