Rhythm and Dance: A Foray into African Movement and Drumming
Sunday, November 22, 2015
5:30-7:30pm
We will be learning Yankadi and Macru, dances from western Africa. These dances are usually done together on the full moon. Yankadi is a slower exciting dance with a swinging drum beat. Macru picks up the tempo up a little and finishes the dance leaving you full of energy. These classes are great for beginners and those that have taken classes before. Dancing is great for your mind, body and soul. This event will allow you to meet others in the drum and dance community of Southern Ohio. It will also shed some light on cultural traditions from Africa's golden past.
$15/adult, $10/student
Instructors: Dance - C C Ruchti, Drum - Lawrence R Greene
Questions? Call Lawrence Greene at 740-444-1407

Art Opening on Thursday, November 5th
“The gods of my childhood were fierce and fantastic and stirred my imagination to no end. Myth, ritual, stories, songs, symbolism, Indians, and conquistadores shaped my imaginings. I grew up through the eyes of magical realism.” Laura Serna-Maytorena
Each month a new exhibit is on display in the ARTS/West gallery space and features either an individual artist or a group show. The opening for each exhibit is a FREE event, with refreshments served.
