OLCA AFRICAN DANCE WORKSHOPS

8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th October

The first beat heard in life is the drum beat from the mother’s heart. The drums have always carried messages and meanings that connected us in togetherness. Emerging dance academy, OLCA brings you an empowering wellness experience of African dance and drumming to help promote diversity, community cohesion and development in the Borough of Haringey.

These workshops will run every Saturday throughout October and are a great way to get fit, meet new friends and gain knowledge about African ancestry through movement. Similarly, these workshops aim to inspire correct body posture, improved blood circulation, the elimination of toxins, reduce isolation and shape a new confident you. As dance is a dramatic art, this is an opportunity to build confidence. Equipping young people with soft skills that can benefit them in their future careers such as teamwork, listening skills and adaptability is a core objective which serves an educational purpose. Feel free to shake, twist, shimmy and bend.
