Today the workshop is for children, and depending on ages attending this is what it may include:
Mini African Movers Under 5′s
Little ones take their favourite adult on a journey to Africa;
discovering through movement and song their own rhythm,
coordination and creative expression to the beats of African music.
African dance 5 – 9 yrs
Let Africa’s culture of dance, music and story inspire your child’s creativity.
This energetic session improves coordination, posture, rhythm and timing;
learning dances and creative ways to increase your child’s imagination.
At other times Natasha also conducts workshops for adults:
Come take part in a dance session inspired by the rythmns and movement of West Africa. Introducing the simplist of movement to free your body, taking your spirit dancer on a journey and connecting with the energy of the earth.
