Greetings and Happy New Year to All!

We want to start the year off with some good news: Evanston Escola De Samba is excited to announce that we will begin our residency at Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center (SRBCC) in February. SRBCC is cultural arts organization located in Chicago’s Hermosa Neighborhood (at 4046 W Armitage), dedicated to preserving and promoting appreciation of the culture and arts of Puerto Rico. You may remember that EEDS hosted a successful Carnaval event at SRBCC last March. We plan on hosting another Carnaval event this year – so stay tuned for more details on Carnaval 2015.

We are excited to continue our partnership with SRBCC and enhance the mission of EEDS by offering more classes, hosting cultural events, and expanding our programming. We aim to achieve a greater impact in the community by promoting cultural arts, music and dance opportunities for all. Stay tuned for our February class schedule and more exciting things to come!
