African Drumming and Dance

In each class, a group of students learned to maintain three different rhythms on traditional drums in order to accompany their classmates’ dance.   The remaining students performed a series of complex dance movements to create a class dance production.  Each class had their own dance and rhythm to learn.  Amidst the giggles and smiles, these students exhibited tremendous focus and physical energy.   It was a work out to be sure, but our students had a great time and  were learning too!   A culminating performance was held on December 13,  when  our students rocked the Lampton stage with Nigerian rhythm.
