Ballet Spartanburg is pleased to again offer West African Community Dance classes at no cost to the community - thanks to our generous sponsors! This class is open to anyone who would like to learn about the history of West African Dance, the culture, and the many variations of this art form. Participants will also enjoy movement, exercise, and freedom of spirit and mind. Classes are taught by an exceptional African Dance instructor, Angela Gibson, and accompanied by skilled drummer Hamadi Brown.
This four-month long class is recognized as one of the most exciting community outreach programs we offer. This class is fun, engaging, and perfect for all ages. An end of the year dance demonstration in the Chapman Cultural Center's theatre in May capstones this great class. Join us!
