CULTURE TALK & DANCE
Learn West African folk dances and their cultural histories.

Peoples have different languages or dialects, their own norms, histories and traditions. The unique identity of a community is reflected in its particular musical interpretation and dance style. In this class you will learn to dance to polyrhythmic music and understand call & response cues from the drums.
