  • Cumbe: Center for African and Diaspora Dance 1368 Fulton Street Brooklyn United States (map)

In-Person Class
Donation – $5-25

Join us for an exploration of West Africa through dance! Class begins with a warm-up that is designed to improve flexibility, strengthen the core, improve stamina, and get acquainted with West African music. The second part of the class starts with a brief history and context of the dances (that will inform your execution of the movements) and continues with an extensive breakdown of technique. Then, you’ll practice what you’ve learned in repetition.
