Sekou Heru

Saturday, October 5 2024 

3:00 - 4:30 PM 

Sekou's workshop is an open level introduction to Rhythm Metrics Housedance Method. Throughout this class students will explore basic body mechanics and dynamics along with footwork foundation patterns and body awareness techniques. 

These techniques will be initiated non-verbally to help the participants to embody the essence of the dance as an interactive language and emotional expression.

Students will learn movements they can practically apply and review while focusing on using the body as an instrument allowing them to be able to eventually use the foundation movements freely. 

Students will be learning the function of the dance as an interactive language, eventually to  be used for personal practice, party or performance.

Join us on Friday, October 4 and Saturday, October 5 for the Dancing While Black|Us and We Fellowship Show. Book your ticket here.
