Workshops

We offer drum and dance workshops where participants will be guided through learning drumming rhythms, songs dance moves, stories and they will experience a demonstration of how drumming and dance can contribute to our joy. Rhythms taught originate from the many West Africa ethnic groups especially Ghana, with a blend of ancient and traditional grooves that are part of everyday ceremony, and customs across Ghana.

Within our school programs, we provide traditional drums, shakers and bells for every student. We begin with short drum and dance demonstrations, before introducing our students to the different instruments. We then encourage active participation, teaching sounds and simple rhythms involving listening, copying, and counting.

Our drumming workshops are both an individual learning experience and a communal experience of collaboration to achieve a thrilling rhythmic soundscape that elevates the energy of the group and leaves the students with a lasting impression of an exciting and authentic cultural experience. We endeavor to give participants ample opportunities to explore and ask questions about Africa, catering to theory inquisitive natures and further enhancing their individual enjoyment of this unique cultural experience.
