Hartford is gearing up for the 2012 Trinity Samba Fest by brushing up on their dance moves at a samba dance workshop held on Thursday at the Vernon Social Center on the campus of Trinity College.  Trinity students and members of the Hartford community joined to learn the rhythms and patterns of Afro-Peruvian and Puerto Rican dances. The workshop was conducted by the music and dance ensemble Bomba Ashe, who instructed participants in bomba, a dance form developed on the sugar cane plantations of Puerto Rico.  For more photos from the set, visit: http://bit.ly/I5mj0I.  The Trinity Samba Fest will be held May 5, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the Riverfront Recapture in Hartford.  www.sambafest.com.
