The workshop will be touching on Afro dance trending moves, fundamentals of some African Urban and Traditional Dances and of course Motema's Ndombolo style. The first half will be an “easy” warm up and breakdown of different movements, and in the second half we will be learning an easy to remember Ndombolo choreography.
