    Description
    This intermediate/advanced level African dance course focuses on traditional and ritual West African dances, drumming, rhythms and songs from Guinea (“Kakilambe”), Senegal (“Sunu”) and Burkina Faso (“Folongoto”) and/or others. Each class is accompanied by live drumming, an integral, dynamic support to African dance. Additionally, students will create and perform short group compositions, “village dances” based on vocabulary and rhythms learned in class. The course includes information about the integral link between dance and the social/religious aspects of African culture.
