About this Event

AFRICA VIBES is a workshop series hosted by YENSA Festival, inviting Black Women instructors to share their knowledge of movements connected to the African diaspora with the community.


ROOTED & RISING

After a successful first year of programming, YENSA Festival is excited to announce its AFRICA VIBES Fall series: Rooted & Rising!


Join us as we welcome Chenise Mitchell, who will guide participants through Jazz and its deep connections to African dance and rhythms, and Lua Shayenne, who has been deeply engaged in intensive training this year and is eager to share her growth and passion for West African dance.


This season offers a unique opportunity to LEARN, CONNECT, and CELEBRATE the roots and evolution of dance.


With 4 workshops in the series, you can register for a single class, or save money with our 2 and 4 class packages!


Jazz Grounding with Chenise Mitchell - October 25

Join Chenise through a grounding warm up, exploration in connection to jazz music and expressions through the form, with the focus on the black origins of jazz. The class will flow with the level of who is in the room. Be prepared for a unique class as Chenise shares her Jazz journey with you.


This dance workshop will offer an ALL-LEVELS experience.

Learn more about Chenise and this workshop on our website HERE!


These workshops are made possible with the support of Jörgen Dance / George Brown College Dance .
