Beginner West African Dance

West Africa is celebrated for its vibrant rhythms, intricate movement techniques, and a rich cultural legacy that has shaped many Diasporic dance traditions. Open to all levels, this class begins with a warm-up focused on enhancing flexibility, building core strength, and increasing stamina while immersing you in the sounds of West African music. The second part of the class provides a brief history and cultural context of the dances, deepening your understanding and connection to the movement. You'll then engage in a detailed breakdown of technique, using repetition to refine your skills and fully embody the rhythms and expressions of the dance.
