Yerba Buena make professional dance education accessible for everyone and thrives to be an indispensable resource in Germany and worldwide for helping individuals to learn about dance with a focus on Afro-Cuban movement culture so that they will thrive as dancers and human beings.

We thrive for transformation as a result of the experience of our professional dance program. Transformation not only for the individual but through this also the transformation of following generations. Every element of Yerba Buena reflects care, fairness, excellence, community and beauty in diversity and is an inspiration to transform the student experience into one of discovery and meaning about dance and culture to transform and enrich their own life experience and to become conscious about their role as part of the community.

Dance acts as an essential counterweight to the often narrow and polarizing discourse of many societies. In this way, dance is essential to the fabric of a healthy life and a meaningful connection to the community we live in and engage with. This we do through a culture of joy and care in which every individual gets the possibility to thrive and discover their full potential in a save and loving environment.

We want to engage people of all kinds, professionals and amateurs, and support and inspire the next generation of leaders in our dance community with one of a kind dance classes. We thrive to inspire them to develop and carry out their own culture of joy and care for the benefit of future generations.

We care to connect people of diverse backgrounds and across generations by igniting imagination, by engaging them through accessible educational programs and through teachers and experts that reinforce our core curricula and values. Our classes encourage development of consciousness and connection and address the unique social and emotional needs of every student through carefully structured classes and community activities. The promotion of self love and acceptance we create in every class bounds us and is expressed through the love for dance. A culture of community that is lived by each and every single of our teaching artists and creators in every class creates and atmosphere of limitless and transformative learning possibilities.
