About This Activity

Description

Internet Registration has not begun yet. Check Registration Dates in details.

Participants will learn African Dance technique (at times with a blend of Afro-Caribbean style) at the beginning/intermediate level. This class allows participants to get a glimpse of understanding and experience the African culture, while celebrating diversity. Participants will be introduced to the artistic process, practice, and performance of Afro-Rhythms by learning dance(s) to music rooted in the African &/or Afro-Caribbean tradition. Participants in this class will practice with no shoes or socks (with bare feet). We ask that attendance is consistent, allowing participants to feel confident in the routine, and allowing ample time for practice. This class will learn a routine which will be showcased in a recital at the end of each session. Costumes are an additional fee which will be paid to the instructor and distributed during each program schedule.*Participants may be as young as 4 or 5 years old. The age range provided does not allow specifics.
