CLASS DESCRIPTION

This class is designed to introduce its students to some of the different dances that have emerged from across the African continent, since the turn of the millennium. All of these dances stem from local traditional dances which have evolved over time. They have been influenced by socio-political phenomena and the virtual elimination of cultural boundaries, so much so that they have taken on a life of their own
