West African Dance with Sidiki Sylla and Ismael Bangoura

Saturday, June 22, 2019; 1:30-2:30 PM

This is a participatory dance workshop that brings the movement and sounds of West Africa to the Clemmons Family Farm. In this dance workshop, participants will be transported to West Africa through dance as they learn and duplicate dance moves that are key to the culture. Dance and music are part of daily life, used to celebrate birth, death, marriage, the harvest and other rites of passage in West African culture. You are invited to join this interactive workshop that will be a challenge to the body and nourishing to the mind. This fun community event will be led by Master Teaching Artists Sidiki Boze Sylla and Ismael Bangoura, both originally from Guinea. Participants should wear comfortable clothing for movement and bring their water bottles for this high energy adventure!
