ONLINE-Zoom African Dance and Drum Circle

Your class confirmation email will contain the Zoom class link. 

Tara Murphy leads creative, African-inspired dance and drum classes for people of all ages and abilities. They are a great way to release energy, lift spirits, connect with others, have fun, and get healthy exercise. For the first 25 minutes of the class, Tara guides participants as they respond to exciting recorded African music with rhythmic dance – high-energy, slow and gentle, or even seated in a chair – involving the whole body from head to toe, creative expression, and specific African-inspired movement. For the next 30 minutes, participants jam out with improvised drums and instruments such as trashcans, buckets, kitchen utensils, countertops, pots, or whatever they find, following Tara through a succession of creative beats and African rhythms. The class may also include simple songs and chants which participants sing together for fun, to accompany the drumming. These rhythmic sessions provide great therapeutic value and group connection.
