Guinean dancer/choreographer Almamy Seny Daffe of Jeh Kulu Dance & Drum Theater leads this exciting third session of a kids dance class in partnership with Flynn Arts. Children will learn the exuberant and high-energy dance moves of West Africa, to the pulsing rhythms of live traditional drumming. Pat sessions have been a great success. This is a memorable experience for the students and they learn about their bodies, themselves, and have a genuine cultural experience. Seny has a knack with kids and keeps them engaged and entertained while helping them to learn a complex dance form in a safe and positive learning environment. |
