African Dance Youth + Adult
February 27 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
$20
Join us for an energetic and immersive African Dance Class with Fara Tolno of the Kissidugu Foundation. His dance classes will be accompanied by live drumming, including lead drummer (and Fara’s little brother!) Etienne Tolno. The movements will be a fun workout for your whole body and a great way to open your heart. All ages of youth are welcome to kids class, and we ask that youth under 7 years of age be accompanied by an adult. Adults of all levels are welcome to class and if you have never taken African dance then Fara is the best teacher to start with.
