Our story

We are all students. One of the best parts of dance is that we are always learning – about the steps, the technique, the history, the music, and of course, about ourselves.

meTumbao focuses on all of these aspects of Latin dance and rhythms, embodying every piece from the African and Native roots of Latin style steps to the modern styling and techniques, while supporting and maintaining our student’s overall health and wellbeing by teaching safe leading techniques and encouraging stretching and form practices. Take any and every piece and make it your own, dance is your Art and the floor is your canvas.

“I can't recommend meTumbao enough. Not only is the level of instruction phenomenal, but it's also a safe place to push yourself outside of your comfort zone…[the instructors] make classes fun, challenging and rewarding. Whether you're new to dance or just looking to keep improving and evolving as a dancer, there's no better place in the DMV.”
