Co-presented by BAM and Mark Morris Dance Group

Be a part of the DanceAfrica community through this inclusive class, where adults of all physical abilities learn the rhythmic beats of the South African gumboot dance. African and diasporic dance forms celebrate community and every aspect of life, providing a unique window into the culture, history, and traditions of the people. Participants in this interactive workshop experience the diverse cultural traditions of Africa with feet stomping, hands clapping, and voices blending!

For adults (ages 16 and up) of all levels and abilities. Participants are asked to share any accommodation needs in advance so that we can coordinate assistance.
