Are you looking for motivation to move? Do you love music? When you hear drums, do you feel the call to dance? Do you want to work on your physical fitness? Do you enjoy expressive movement? Are you drawn to traditional cultures? Do you want to improve your coordination? Do you need stimulation and endorphins? Do you want to build your energy resources? Then we have classes for YOU! Join us for regular classes in traditional West African dance with Anika Kamińska. These will be meetings filled with incredibly energetic dance, unrestrained expression and joy, a solid dose of endorphins, and African sunshine. We work in a friendly atmosphere, giving each other good energy. No competition or judgmental looks. The workshops are open to complete beginners as well as more experienced participants. In Africa, everyone dances—young and old, regardless of gender or age—because African rhythms compel you to dance! African dance is a communal celebration of life and an exchange of energy that unites the community, pure fun, and joy. Many steps in this dance originated from imitating daily life activities or emphasizing the qualities and traits of the dancing gender, such as the strength of men, agility, speed, and bounce of young girls, the sensuality and delicacy of young women, or the dignity and elegance of older women. Learning this dance also involves learning African folklore and rhythms. The energy and joy flowing from unrestrained movements danced to the trance-like music of drums have made this dance increasingly popular in Europe and worldwide. For over a dozen years, it has been danced not only by native Africans but also by dancers and choreographers seeking the roots of dance. Bring comfortable, non-restrictive clothing and water to the classes. We dance barefoot. 📅 WEDNESDAYS 18:00-19:30 ✉️ Registration: [email protected] - include your phone number in the email, subject line AFRODANCE 💰 PRICE - Pass 160 PLN - 4 entries to be used within 5 weeks from the date of purchase. - 50 PLN - single entry 📍 Location: Atlas Tower Al.
