Description
Dance in Africa is life itself, it is connected to music, rhythm and sound, it is the personal expression of each dancer, it is the communication between movement and music. We explore movements, traditional dances, improvisation with the focus on getting to know quality and source, on finding the own meaning and expression of the movements, on discovering and enjoying the communication between drums and dancer.
