\\CLASSES

Is prior dance or drum experience necessary?
Prior dance or drum experience isn't necessary. However, it might be helpful for you to observe a class first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the structure and procedure.

 

Do you have beginner, intermediate and advanced level classes for dance or drum?
No, all skill levels are grouped in classes together. At this time, we do not have the luxury of separating the skill levels. But, we feel confident whatever the skill level, you'll learn something.

 

What do I wear for the dance class?
Women should wear what is called a "lappa," along with a t-shirt, sports bra and shorts beneath the lappa. The lappa is usually 2 yards or less, dependent upon body size, of African print material, worn similarly to the American styled wrap- skirt. Men typically wear socatos or warm-up pants with a t-shirt. Socatos are the "droop-seated" pants in African print. AND, everybody is barefooted.

 

Do I need transportation to go from the hotel site to the dance conference location?
Yes, please make arrangements for your own transportation. While we would want to provide this service, it isn't available at this time.
