African Dance is H-O-T this Summer

Posted by Lisa Leake on June 16, 2009 at 4:15am
Whew! Boston weather is cold outside but it's sizzlin' inside with djembe and sabar rockin' rhythms and rhapsodies, making our bodies gyrate and glisten. If you wanna sweat in the motion, come on and see what we have to offer, with over 10 (authentic) West African classes being held, weekly, at the Dance Complex, 567 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge. Just to add to the sweltering summer is a review of the "Dance for World Community" that just happened on June 6th, at Jose Mateo's Ballet Theatre, with over 30 "live" dance companies showing their "wears," inclusive of some of the most celebrate Afro bits in town. Next, spice it up with three days of Malian, Guinean, and Senegalese master dancers who storm Cambridge for the third annual Ndaje ("Come Together") West African dance festival. Classes to be held Friday from 4:00 through 10:00 pm, and from 10:30 am through 7:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Don't forget the "all inclusive" performance at MIT's Kresge Auditorium, or the featured "dance jam," culminating your supra-ethno experience.Here's a couple links:http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-12126-Boston-Dance-Examiner~y2009m6d15-Silimbo-DAdeane-West-African-Dance--Drum-Companyhttp://www.examiner.com/x-12126-Boston-Dance-Examiner~y2009m6d15-Bostons-Second-Summer-Dance-Festival-2009http://www.examiner.com/x-12126-Boston-Dance-Examiner~y2009m5d31-Bostons-first-2009-summer-dance-festival-Dance-for-World-CommunityChiao for now but keep posted.....Lisa
