Happy February!! :::: "A Revolution of Dance!" MEGA African dance class was simply great!
1:51 PM
January's last class -- "A Revolution of Dance!" featured the very powerful instructors of Kreative Pandemonium, a home-grown performance force dedicated to sharing the knowledge of African and Diaspora culture, music, and dance.
"The class was fuuuuuun," said Andrea Peoples, co-founder of KP. Andrea and her partner, international drummer Weedie Braimah, taught a women's dance from Guinea, popularly performed at special events called Guinea Fares. Two hours later, and with sweat shining from everyone's face, we gathered in a big circle and took turns shouting to the heavens, and expressing our own razzle dazzle.
And that's the call of African dance: to not only master the brilliant forces of nature embedded in the art, but to interface with empowering community and our strongest, most impressive selves.

Later, after everyone introduced themselves, we learned that we had a room of stars! Creative leaders, business-starters, and globe-changers all coming to African dance to sweat it out and share a confidence and a pulse in the body so amazing, you just gotta scream "Yeeeeees!"
