Description

Sibo Bangoura, West African griot and master drummer, will bring his infectious smile, big energy and funky West African grooves to Lake Macquarie!

Join Djembe Alchemy and Sibo for some exciting West African drumming and dance workshops.  Try a beginners drum workshop and see what West African rhythms and culture has to offer, or work up a sweat in the beginner friendly dance workshop, or if you’re up for it, challenge yourself and try out both!

About the levels
The Beginners drumming class is just that, completely open and accessible to anyone including those that have never picked up a drum before, but also a great opportunity for those with a bit of experience to get some tuition directly from a genuine griot master drummer, and to brush up on technique.

The Open (Beginner friendly) dance class accompanied by live drumming, is open to anyone, no dance experience necessary.   It will provide a good workout for those with West African dance experience and is a great introduction to African dance.

All classes are sure to challenge you mentally and physically in a light hearted way with Sibo’s fun sense of humour, soft teaching approach and friendly accepting manner.
