Another interesting stop while in music class with Professor Glen McMillan. I was invited by a member of a dance group called “The Cumbe Dance Group” to attend one of their workshops. . Cumbe is a considered a center for African and Diaspora (the dispersion of the Jews beyond Israel, or the dispersion of any people from their original homeland) Dance, which offers unique arts programming that engages audiences of all different ages and backgrounds through dynamic performances, immersive workshops and in-depth residencies.

It encourages the participants to expand their physical routines while learning to tell stories through African cultured (rooted) styles. You do not have to be experience to attend or even to participate, they will work with you at an amateur or even at a professional level. This workshop is structured to compliment and to inspire healthy lifestyles, while boosting your morale (the confidence, enthusiasm, and discipline of a person or group at a particular time).

This class they explained would typically runs from between 4 to 16 weeks, giving the attendees (students) the time to absorb new techniques. The sessions are 35-90 minutes long which can be perfect for a lunchtime or an after work
