Afro dance

Entry requirements: dance experience is helpful. The tempo is fast!

African Dance: a mix of African dance styles from different continents in Africa. During the course we travel from Coupé Décalé (Ivory Coast) to Ndombolo (Congo) to Azonto (Ghana) and much more! Thanks to music video clips and social media, African dance is becoming more and more popular. 

Beginners 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!

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!
