Afro'Dance class is a mixture of the new generation of African influences and street dance. In the class you will work on musicality heavily influenced by the rhythm and musical trends from The Congo, Ivory Coast, Angola... Urban street styles are incorporated into the backdrop of this heavily African based technique. The cultural, social, and free-spirited side of this class creates an environment where students dance, learn, have fun, and feel free.
