Dance is a primal form of communication and is deeply rooted in us. Singing and dancing can bind communities together. Traditional dances are performed for significant events and rites of passage from birth to death.
African music is complex and polyrhythmic. The students will get hands on experience while learning about African music.
African Crafts
African art has inspired artists around the world. Art is part of everyday life in Africa. Students may create their own African crafts such as: masks, stamped cloth, jewelry, anklets, headbands, shakers, or drums and learn about the significance of these objects in African culture.
African Story
The Story is a traditional art form of all indigenous people. West African cultures have elevated the art of Story to the highest form.
