You step into The Celebrity Room, a compact studio off Wiles Road where light bounces off polished drum shells and a row of congas waits like patient companions. The instructor greets the room with a steady mano y tumbao — palms tapping, heels whispering — and suddenly, the drum begins to speak. In this two-hour lesson/show you move from basic pulse to group play, the rhythms pushing forward until the whole room is playing together.
