She will teach PRINCIPLES OF WEST AFRICAN DANCE.
Passages and gestures will be drawn from Congolese, djimbe, sabar, and Afro-Carribean dances to provide practice in isolations and coordination throughout the body. The community-oriented structure builds tremendous energy and provides a safe environment in which to experiment and learn. The class is open to all levels and will cater individually to each dancer’s abilities.
