Event Description

Join us at the Red Clay School of Dance for our vibrant and inclusive African Diasporic Dance Class series! Whether you're an experienced dancer or just starting your dance journey, our drop-in classes are open-level and beginner-friendly, welcoming everyone with a passion for movement.

This rotating class series is designed to expose dance lovers to a rich tapestry of traditional and contemporary diasporic dance practices. Each week, we dive into a different style, engaging participants with the dance's history, culture, and music. From the rhythmic beats of West African dance to the expressive storytelling of Dunham technique, our classes offer a dynamic exploration of various styles.

Our welcoming and supportive environment encourages you to connect with the music, express yourself through movement, and learn new skills. Some of the styles featured in our weekly series include West African, Tap, Hip Hop, House, Footwork, Dunham, Afro-Contemporary, Afro-Haitian, and more.

Join us as we celebrate the diversity and beauty of African diasporic dance traditions. Whether you're looking to learn something new, stay active, or simply have fun, our classes are a perfect fit for dancers of all backgrounds and experience levels. Let's move together and embrace the joy of dance!
