Class Schedule
We've brought together master dancers and drummers who not only embody their art form, but also carry the legacy of their culture with authenticity and pride. Whether you’re drawn to the intricate footwork of Guinea, the expressive storytelling of Kutiro, or the powerful beats of Sabar, you’ll find a space to deepen your connection, expand your skills, and celebrate community.
This experience isn’t just about technique—it’s about spirit. It’s about returning to the source, moving with intention, and honoring the ancestral rhythms that continue to shape who we are. Each class, each rhythm, and each performance is a celebration of African excellence and resilience.
So whether you’re stepping onto the dance floor for the first time or you’ve been moving in rhythm for years, this lineup was made with you in mind. Come as you are, bring your passion, and get ready to sweat, smile, and soar.
