Every Wednesday, 7 PM - 8 PM | June 11th - July 30th 2025
This immersive 8-week course focuses on the celebratory and richly layered rhythm known as Djansa (also spelled Dansa)—a vibrant 4/4 rhythm from the Kayes region of Mali. With its driving swing, call-and-response foundation, and room for expressive solos, Djansa offers the perfect bridge between structured ensemble playing and spontaneous musical creativity.
This course is designed for students who have completed foundational djembe training and are ready to explore longer phrasing, more intricate accompaniments, and the subtle art of musical interplay.
Djansa is more than a rhythm—it’s a feeling. It’s the joy of community celebration, the pulse of movement, and the foundation of many modern West African performance pieces. You’ll learn not just to play the notes, but to feel the dance behind the drum.
