Description

Thanks for your interest in signing up your child for African culture, dance, language, all FREE


During the 2025-26 school year, select 6-8 graders will meet weekly after school and learn African dance, while learning a little bit about African culture through language (Twi, Yoruba, Zulu, Swahili). We will also have a public performance, where the kids will wear costumes with authentic African fabric, and show off what they’ve been learning Thursdays after school!


Here's our public performance from this past school year in March at the opening day of the MEAC tournament at the Norfolk Scope, on YouTube!
