Come out and join Ousmane Sall and Cumbe for this free Class at Governors Island!

Express your joy with the fun, energetic movements of this upbeat dance from Senegal that is often performed at celebrations like weddings, naming ceremonies and other happy occasions. Class begins with a dynamic warm-up that incorporates Sabar technique. Students then get moving with choreography that will have you popping your lapa (wrap skirt) across the dance floor. Enjoy learning Sabar in this class with live drumming.


You can find Cumbe at Colonel's Row lawn in front of house 405 and you can get to us by taking the Governor’s Island Ferry.
