Class Information:
¡Ritmo Nuevo! is a brand-new offering at Philly Music Factory and Urban Movement Arts! This Latin ensemble is designed specifically for adult beginners AND those who have instrumental experience who are passionate about Latin music and eager to learn in a supportive, fun, and low-pressure environment. Whether you're picking up an instrument for the first time, returning after a long break, or looking to learn a new style of music on your instrument, this group offers a welcoming space to explore the vibrant rhythms and melodies of salsa and son. Through weekly rehearsals over the course of 4-weeks, you'll build foundational skills, gain ensemble experience, and connect with fellow music lovers as you grow together as a band. No prior ensemble experience required—just a love for Latin grooves and a willingness to learn!
***All percussion instruments (clave, guiro, bongo, maracas, campana) will be provided; however, if you already play an instrument, you are welcome to bring it (keyboardists will have keyboards provided)
Logistical Information:
The class runs every Thursday for 4 weeks, from February 5th- February 29th 6:30-8:00 PM at Philly Music Factory/ Urban Movement Arts (2100 Chestnut Street) The exact dates are: February 5, 12, 19 & 26

The class takes place in what we call Chad$. The entrance to our building is on 21st st. between Chestnut and Sansom in between Damo Pasta and Monde Market. Go upstairs, turn left and through the third door on your left from the hallway. If you have questions, enter through the lobby which is the first door on the left directly up from the staircase.
If you think that you will miss more than two classes, leave the season early, or you cannot arrive consistently on time, we encourage you to participate the following month instead. While it is normal that people get sick and things come up, we want to keep our musical momentum.
Payment:
The cost for the entire series is $88 for the month. Payments are non-refundable but can be exchanged for other goods and services.
