Feel your heart open and your fire ignite with West African World Dance to live drumming! Over 6 weeks, Ginny Watts led our dance village through 3 heart-pumping choreos based on dances passed to her from her African teachers, weaving information about the cultural context of each dance into the experience. Together, we flowed through warm up, movement, and cool down, riding a current of rhythm. Stormi Oshun, Shaun Phoenix, Galen Eldridge, and friends provided the grounding support of live drumming to honor and uplift novice and veteran dancers alike. Experience the power of dancing in a community we create, entrained to the calls of the drums!

Women's May Day Mini-Retreat
Sunday May 7th, 2023

Drum and Dance with Yamama! In a moving, grooving celebration of May Day, within a container of simple ritual, we explored the Divine Feminine power, grace, sensuality, and energizing heat in our own bodies. Through World dance and drumming, drawn from West African movement and rhythms, our community created a moving, electrifying circle honoring the approaching opulence of Summer within and all around. After an opening ritual, we experienced the magic of a facilitated drum circle, two West African World Dance classes to live drumming, and a hand drumming class exploring West African polyrhythms. We ended with a ritual circle closing. It was a perfect time to Fire up for the abundance of Summer!
