we have fun?!?
"I began my dance training on the sidelines of my mother's dance classes. I came to see dance as a part of everyday life - we danced each day, we danced to celebrate, to mourn and  | | Kenna brought 3 drums for practice |
to express... I have been studying and teaching West African dance ever since. In high school, Hip-Hop entered my life.
I help students discover the beauty  | | This is hard work! |
and traditionof West African drum and dance. I push them to examine the Hip-Hop dance they find so appealing, and to search for its sources in the traditinoal West African dance that we explore.  | | Rehersal |
I teach traditional African songs and dances in an easygoing, interactive format - all the time giving background cultural information in the form of engaging stories and folktales. Students  | | Getting ready to move! |
will know the history and movements of at least one traditinoal West African dance and its accompanying rhythm and song.
I hope to help students feel the call  | | Feel the beat |
of the drum in their own souls."
