Eugénio and Judith are coming all the way from Maputo, Mozambique to bring us the roots of our dance "Lindy Hop".
They belong to the group "Hodi Maputo Afro Swing", a non-profit cultural association which is working for the preservation, research and dissemination of Mozambican traditional dance, music and traditional instruments as well as African American Swing Dances.
Roots from an African heritage can be found on the development of Jazz music, Jazz dance and Lindy Hop. The slaves took with them a heritage of rhythms and percussion, of singing and dancing about their daily lives and calling and responding as communal emotional expression.
All the workshops will be with live percussion!
What an amazing way to start into our summer break!!
