African Dance Classes

[Jenee']

I am looking for somewhere I can take African dance classes. I tried the phone book, but I have been unsuccessful. Any suggestions? :?

There is a man named Samba who teaches that. I have done a few shows with him since February this year. I just did a show with him on May 12. Cobb Dance Academy would be happy to tell you how to get in touch with him. Ask for Mary the Director. She knows Sam well. Tell 'em David sent ya.

[jdavidb]

I stopped by the Cobb Dance Academy yesterday. It turns out that Samba has a class scheduled there for July. It is on Saturdays at 11 am to noon. He does African drum class from noon to 1... right after the African dance class.

He's a native African, by the way. I don't know when he migrated to Georgia.

I didn't ask exactly when this schedule starts. I left assuming it starts the first week in July. So give them a call at 770-218-2677.

This class at Cobb Dance Academy will start in July of 2004 and continue for the month. Please, Please, Please people! Sign up! If they do not have 6 (yes, just six) people registered by the first class, they will have to cancel it. That would be a shame as there are no other classes like this offered in the area.

[jdavidb]

Are you sure about the 6 person thing? Can you tell us who that info came from?

[jdavidb]

That 6-person thing just sounds more like a ballet or jazz class policy because they can just move students from one class to a fuller one in those styles. Ya can't do that with African dance. But, I don't know if that's what they said or not. I was wanting to see who said it because there's a chance that they could have gotten confused and stated policies for other classes, not this one.

There are ongoing classes offered every week in the west end at 840 Ralph David Abernathy, taught by artists from Guinea West Africa with live drumming - Saturdays at 1 pm, Mondays at 7:30 pm and Tuesdays at 7:30 pm. Tuesday classes are intended to be for beginners. Classes are $10 each. Drum classes are held on Sundays at 12:30 pm at 1765 Memorial Drive in the SE YMCA for $12.

I am looking for African drum and dance classes for children and adults in the Snellville, Lawrenceville, Lilburn area. I know about the Guinea Dance and Drum classes in downtown Decatur. Just wondered if there's anything in Gwinnett County?

I am also looking for african dance and tap clases in Qwinnett.
I am a new mother and would like to get back down to my normal size. I also would like find classes close to home.[quote]
