CONTRA-TIEMPO is a bold, multilingual, Los Angeles-based activist dance theater company, creating communities where all people are awakened to a sense of themselves as artists and social change agents who move through the world with compassion, confidence, and joy. 

Since 2005, the company has created a unique physical, visual and sonic vocabulary that collages Salsa, Afro-Cuban, hip-hop, and contemporary dance with theater, compelling text, and original music.

Like all DFS programs, this hour-long student matinee performance is free to any Los Angeles area public school, though we do ask that schools make their own transportation arrangements.  If that means you might not be able to attend, let us know.  We may be able to help.  Our Perloff Memorial Bus Fund provides support for bus transportation. 

We often have more demand than we can accommodate; requests are filled on a first-come basis. Contact us at dfs@cap.ucla.edu for more information.
