Children's Afrobeat Dance Session from 3pm to 4pm
We're delighted to welcome Cheri Coco for a fun and energetic Afrobeat dance session for children.
Founded by Khadidja N'Diaye, a former BBC radio journalist, cultural organiser and dancer, Cheri Coco delivers inclusive arts and cultural programmes that celebrate identity, wellbeing and belonging. Through dance, music and creative expression, they create welcoming spaces where communities can connect, learn and thrive.
This interactive session will introduce children to Afrobeat rhythms and movement in a playful and accessible way. No previous dance experience is needed, just bring your energy and get ready to move!
