FEEL THE RHYTHM. MOVE YOUR BODY
*********
AFRICAN DANCE & DRUMMING AT THE BUTTON FACTORY
Explore what African rhythms give to us: connect with your body, raise your energy level, feel the beat of mother earth, dance and drum in community, be free and above all: celebrate life! In Afro connection dance and drumming, we explore the concepts of identity, creativity and authenticity through music and movement inspired by traditional West African rhythms. We feel the beat of the drums in our body, becoming one, connecting with our ancestral memory, coming back to roots and offering our dance as a celebration of communion with mother earth.
