African dance classes

Our introductory African dance classes will be starting in term 4. They provide an accessible introduction to African dancing along to the energy of live drumming. It creates a symbiosis between the drums and the dance, a special interaction and energy that connects and uplifts. It’s a social, inclusive and accepting environment in which everyone is welcome. Come and get moving, find your flow and groove to the beat of African rhythm.
