FUN is GUARANTEED! ALL CLASSES, STUDENTS and STAFF are WELCOME!

Join us for an introduction to Gumboots! This is a sort of African percussive dance practiced with rubber boots. In general, all the dancers wear these kind of boots, perform a dance on the rhythm of percussions and sings. The beauty stays in harmony of gestures and the sound of boots : everything must match. Gumboots practice requires concentration, listening to each other and audacity to express themselves aloud. During the workshop, you will be introduced to basic movements of this art.
