Thanks for saving me from German dance teachers who have no idea of West African dance!
Colonialism at its finest. ❤

I love African Dance; it comes so naturally to me and connects me with my roots. I wish I had dedicated more time to African dance when little instead of ballet, which is more restricting. Thank you for this amazing class. I am sweating in my living room.
Africans are best dancers in the world next is my proud india
This brings back sweet memories of my African dance classes💃🏾
Phenomenal!!!!!! 🙏🏿
Thank you for going slow enough for those of us who want to learn and have never had a chance, to actually see and understand what you're doing.
I am in my living room in a totally different country and the joy I'm feeling "taking this class"... Nostolgic about my Ailey Extension days over a decade ago 💃🏾
