We're happy to present Malena Amusa's latest Monday class April 4 @ InPower Institute in South St. Louis, from 7pm - 8:15.
The class will be particularly special because participants get to delve into the intricacies and magic of Dununba, a warrior dance from Guinea called the dance of the 'Strong Men."
Dununba is undoubtedly one of the most popular celebration dances in West Africa, and Monday, we are going to learn and re-enact several key parts of the dance including: dancing in process, drumming, and soloing.
While we explore and perform the opulent and confident steps of Dununba, we will also harness the soul of the dance -- improvisation!
Drummers Andrew Behnen, Stephanie Kusmer and other special guests will lead exercises in call & response and the innovative punctuation of the dancer's movement and energy!
This class will no doubt arouse the warrior inside you !!
**This event also commemorates the recovery efforts in Japan and Haiti.
African Rock & Roll Dance Class + LIVE Exhibition !!
International West African dancer Malena Amusa and rock & roll band Queen of the Outcast come together for a spectacular dance workshop launch and performance.
