Trap Media's African Dance Workshops is a traditional dance experience not to be missed! This is a fun and lively dance workshop, which is not only enjoyable but also serves to educate participants about the meanings of the dances in the African and Caribbean societies from which they originate.

Africa is a vast continent, consisting of many countries and hugely diverse cultures. African dance mainly refers to the collective dance type of the Sub-Saharan Africa, which is the African tribal dance. There are many aspects that affect the African dance types. 

African dance types are distinct from each other because of the diversity, of the traveling groups and the tribes that practice them.

The African dances symbolize traditional values of the people related to them. These dance types help the African people to praise and communicate with each other. African dances heavily rely upon the African music, which is a very interesting form of music, despite the fact that in many African tribal languages, there is no particular word for 'music'.

Our African dance workshops are designed to introduce participants to the rich culture of the African/Caribbean people as experienced in their dance, rhythm, and music, which are vital means of expression. In this workshop, participants gain a deeper understanding of African dance culture.

Participants will learn how to respond to the African & Caribbean rhythms that accompany the dances by clapping and singing the rhythmic patterns. Songs will be taught that accompany certain dances. To broaden their awareness, children will learn about the musical instruments and important cultural aspects of the countries where the dances originated.

Zambia, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Zimbabwe or South Africa - this way the participants can get a multicultural feel for the workshop.

All our facilitators have undergone an enhanced CRB check within 3 years as part of our Child Protection Policy + we have £5 Million Public Liability Insurance and risk assessments to cover any workshops we provide.
