She is an award-winning visual artist, a classically trained pianist, a published poet, and an African and Haitian Folklore dancer. Thanks to her excellence in the arts she began to teach while in middle school and has continued her work as a teaching artist into her adulthood.Her commitment to reaching children and adults through the arts has allowed her to work with well over two hundred thousand students, in south Florida and nationally. In addition to her work with children, she has given several professional development workshops designed to educate teachers on how to integrate the arts into their curriculum.Nzingah’s work as a teaching artist has a cultural emphasis; this can be attributed to her Haitian background, as well as her connection to her African heritage. Moreover, she believes that through an appreciation of one's culture, in addition to the culture of others, high self-esteem and improved social skills can be nurtured in children and adults. Nzingah’s vision as a teaching artist and as an artist, in general, is to plant the seed of creativity that makes a profound impact on the way people think. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/fort-lauderdale/west-african-dance-class/10000502587150697 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, literary-art, kids - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: South Side Cultural Arts Center - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 20, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Fort Lauderdale - **state**: FL - **country**: United States - **location**: South Side Cultural Arts Center - **lat**: 26.1125943 - **long**: -80.14352579999999 - **full address**: South Side Cultural Arts Center, 701 South Andrews Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: West African Dance Class - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/984beebbfe24a598d47eefa9e3ceadc418f1500222a9c74a7625f141353685ac-rimg-w1200-h675-dcf2f1ed-gmir.jpg?v=1785331678 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is West African Dance Class being held? - **A:** West African Dance Class takes place on Tue, 17 Jan, 2023 at 06:30 pm to Mon, 30 Nov, 2026 at 07:30 pm at South Side Cultural Arts Center, 701 South Andrews Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing West African Dance Class? - **A:** West African Dance Class is organized by Yes Baby I Like It Raw. - **Q**: Who is this event for?

Her mission is to inspire people to take charge of their health through nutritional therapy.  “At 19 I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was seeing five physicians on a regular basis and was condemned to be on a prescription drugs for the rest of my life. Through research, I learned a plant-based diet could alleviate my conditions and 16 years later I can testify to that effect. Through a plant-based diet and a herbal protocol I am able to keep my autoimmune disorder in remission, as well as overcome the challenges associated with having a prolactinoma and PCOS. Food is your first medicine, my kitchen is my laboratory, and my goal is to make sure that your medicine always taste good.”" } ] } ] ```
