How do you dance if you cannot hear the music?  How do you dance if you cannot see? Is salsa and merengue a food or a dance?  What is bachata? Come find out as Kerry Thompson, a Deafblind dancer and Director for Silent Rhythms Dance, teaches us to think about music and dance in a different way through performances and workshops.
