We’re happy to announce that Community Yoga Center is now a community site for the Gluck Fellows Program of the Arts in partnership with UC Riverside. Through this collaboration, we’re excited to offer free, high-quality arts programming at the yoga center, made accessible to all. The Gluck Fellows Program connects UC Riverside artists with community spaces to share the arts through performance, education, and creative engagement. We’re honored to be part of this vibrant network.

To kick off this partnership, we’re happy to announce a 5-week dance series, Social Dance and Movement Improvisation: Community, Creativity and Collective Care, facilitated by Cinthia Duran Larrea. This dance series invites participants of all levels of experience into a joyful, exploratory movement practice rooted in Latin social dance, group-building improvisation, and collective care. Each session will blend guided movement exploration, partner and group activities, and reflective practices that honor dance as a site of memory, resistance, connection, and social change.

Cinthia is a dance scholar, Latin social dancer, somatic practitioner, movement artist, and performance activist who approaches dance as a living archive of memory and a shared technology for joy, connection, care and social transformation. She blends dance practice and dance studies knowledge with social therapeutic methodologies (group-building, process-oriented approaches to teaching). Her teaching also integrates biodynamic somatic therapy principles.

We can’t wait to dance, learn, and grow together through this beautiful collaboration with UC Riverside and the Gluck Fellows Program of the Arts.
