Workshops
As a professional percussionist, teaching artist, and West African dance and drumming instructor, I offer programs that can be adapted to different
grade levels, class sizes, and school schedules, including:
Dance & Drum Assemblies – Energetic, interactive programs combining West African dance, live drumming, cultural context, and student
participation.
West African Dance Workshops – Classes that give students and/ or teachers an opportunity to experience traditional West African movement
accompanied by live percussion.
Rhythm & Percussion Workshops – Hands-on experiences exploring rhythm, listening, ensemble playing, and the musical communication
between dancers and drummers.
School Residencies – Multi-week programs that allow students to explore West African dance and drumming in greater depth and can culminate in a student performance or presentation.
