Afro bootcamp

Entry requirements: no experience is required, but some dance experience is an advantage. The pace is fast! 

Do you want to dance and train at the same time? Afro bootcamp is a challenging and complete dance training. You will work on muscle building and fitness improvement, while enjoying the catchy rhythms of traditional African music. This is the class in which you can use all your energy! 

Afro Dance is a mix of African dance styles from different continents in Africa. Thanks to music, videos and social media, African dance is becoming increasingly popular. Beginning and advanced dancers swing to energetic African beats. You are welcome to learn these dance techniques while we have fun and imagine ourselves in the warm heart of Africa. We combine this dance with exercises for muscle building and fitness improvement. 

Eva is currently touring with her dance crew, so occasionally an experienced substitute may teach the class. Members of her dance crew (known from Africa’s Got Talent) will also be present during one or more sessions. A real bonus!
