And with the holidays behind us and winter weather driving us indoors, this is a perfect time to enjoy some rhythm and movement. Nii Ardey is starting new sessions of drumming and dancing lessons in the traditional style of Ghana, West Africa.
Drummers... you won't need to have a Ghanaian drum to take these classes... Kpanlogos are provided.
Dancers... each series of classes will show you a traditional dance from Ghana; not just a series of moves but an entire song. To the tune of live African drumming, you will learn a lively traditional African dance with an eye toward how it is done in performance.
Both sets of classes are appropriate for new or experienced drummers and dancers. Advanced classes are also available for those who wish to continue their journey on this path. Avid students of Nii Ardey's may find themselves on stage with Nii Ardey in some of his upcoming performances. It is a great opportunity.
