African Dance & Drum Classes in Philadelphia

Updated September 5, 2009.
For more information, contact Danny.

We teach drums and singing here in Philadelphia, but no dance classes are offered right now. Our dancers travel from New York for shows, but we're looking to meet Ewe people here in Philly. If you know anyone with a background in traditional Ewe dances, send them a link!

To get involved in our Philadelphia community, come to the music & singing class on Sunday Evenings, 6pm - 9pm, at Temple University's Pierson Hall, room 224, corner of Broad & Montgomery Streets. Classes are held throughout the year except on major holiday weekends. All instruments are provided. $10 per class, but classes are FREE for all Temple students and alumni.

This is a college-level classical music class. The material is challenging and amazing. You don't need a musical background to get involved, but you do need to approach the music with respect and an open mind. Most students are age 20-35ish, but anyone from teens to really really old people are welcome to join us. Do you always get high to play music? If you do, please stay home because we don't.

Now on sale!
