Originally music and dance were part of community gatherings and celebrations, and in many African cultures they still are. Here in the west music and dance somehow got separated. They became different disciplines and art forms that we tend to present on a podium (to look at or to listen to).
In African Circle Sessions we gather with music and dance professionals in the circle to bring live music and dance back into the circle as a way to connect more deeply with ourselves, each other and spirit.
31 august is our next session, read about it below!
Tickets available through Community Overvloed.

Join us in this African Circle Session where we’ll land more deeply in ourselves and the community through voice, dance and live-music.
All ages and levels welcome!
You’ll experience a session with tonal instruments and then a drum & dance session, with a tea-break in between.
Let’s enjoy being, moving and being moved together guided by live-music!
