Group drumming is shown to boost the immune system!

The current group dance is Drummercize fusion dance, and the class is on Wednesdays 6:30PM, beginning Sept. 24. Drummercize is an upbeat, contemporary fusion of many dance styles including west African, Congolese, Jazz, Modern, Hip Hop, Flamenco, Belly, Tap and more. The class is accompanied by live drumming. In this class we dance while waving scarves, carrying canes and beating drums. This class is very empowering and uplifting and a great way to get/stay in shape.

All dance classes are for beginner to advanced students. All drums/sticks/props provided.

Also, we offer private, one-on-one lessons in djembe, dundun, drum kit, fusion dance and traditional west African dance. The first 1/2 hour is FREE with a one hour booking, with no obligation. Please feel free to phone me at the number below to book your first hour. Private lesson times book quickly come September, so call now to reserve your spot.

I am also available for private group lessons. If you get a group of folks (min. 6) interested in participating in a 6 week drumming course, you will receive the course for 20% discount. My 6 week courses (one class per week), drums provided, cost $55.
