Details
As part of the NCCAkron Creative Administration Research Summit Convening, join us outdoors in The Bud and Susie Rogers Garden for an African Contemporary Dance Class led by Errin Weaver, Executive/Artistic Director of Mojuba! Dance Collective.
Umfundalai (pronounced mah-foon-da-lah) is a contemporary African dance technique with movement vocabulary from dance traditions throughout the Diaspora. The literal word, Umfundalai, means “essential” in Kiswahili.
All ages and abilities are welcome. Organizers recommend that participants wear sunscreen, comfortable shoes, and clothing for movement, and bring water. Walk-ups will not be allowed, so please register in advance, and encourage friends to do the same! We look forward to dancing with you.
