High-energy movement and Caribbean rhythm animate Jungle Plaza during a free Soca dance class set within a striking public art environment in the Miami Design District.
Soca Sundays: Dance Class takes place amid J’OUVERT, Zak Ové’s large-scale installation featuring towering Afrofuturist sculptures that draw on Caribbean carnival traditions, ancestral symbolism and contemporary Black identity. The setting transforms the plaza into an immersive space where music, movement and visual art intersect.
Led by Trinidad-born instructor Meiling BanZ, each 40-minute class welcomes all experience levels and focuses on joyful, full-body movement rooted in Soca dance. Known for her infectious energy and community-centered approach, Meiling emphasizes confidence, fitness and cultural pride through accessible choreography and celebratory rhythms.
Classes are offered on Sunday, January 18, Sunday, January 25 and Saturday, February 7. All classes are free and open to the public.
