African traditional and afro-somatic dance
Through short choreographed sequences, participants will observe and practice together how traditional styles are integrated into Afro-urban expression.
Powerful rhythms and varied tempos blend with the zest for life of Burkina Faso. The deconstruction of African dance as an Afro-urban expression fuses contemporary and traditional styles, including street dance, mask dance, and modern dance.
Level / Target Audience
- Open to everyone. No dance experience required.
