CLASS STRUCTURE

1. Full body warm-up using aerobic type movement, isolations, stretches, and working closely with the rhythm. This increases suppleness of muscles and mobility of joints, in preparation for more challenging movements

2. Travelling across the floor in various combinations including jumps, skips, kicks and runs

3. Movement phrases learnt throughout the class are put together into a challenging routine. Participants develop coordination, memory, sense of rhythm and understanding of key principles of West African dance

4. Class concludes with a cool down using breathing, stretching and some yogic influences
