Stories with Song and Ryhme

As dancers move in an expression of their inner feelings, their movements are generally in rhythm to the drumbeat. It is the sound of the drum and the rhythms that are played that provide the heartbeat of the dance. In African dance, the drum helps to set the mood and brings everyone together as a community.

MDD has combined these two most popular activities for the complete experience.


Workshop Overview

Combine drumming and dance for a day of culture rhythm and dance. Our African drumming specialist will work with one group whilst the dancer works with another. You can choose from the two options below:
