SUMMARY:African Drum & Dance
DESCRIPTION:Join us each Tuesday evening for African Drum & Dance\, hosted 
 by the Nevada County African Drum and Dance Collective. Since 1988\, this 
 community has come together to celebrate the rich cultural traditions of C
 ongolese and West African drum and dance. These classes are more than just
  movement — they're joyful\, multigenerational gatherings centered on rh
 ythm\, connection\, and cultural appreciation.\n\nDrum classes are led by 
 Seydou Dante\, a griot from Mali — a West African historian\, storytelle
 r\, praise singer\, and musician. Griots are keepers of oral tradition and
  wisdom\, and through Seydou's teaching we are honored to be connected to 
 this living lineage of music\, rhythm\, and storytelling.\n\nEach class be
 gins with a thorough warm-up\, followed by foundational steps and rhythms.
  We then dive into dancing — energetic\, expressive\, and full of joy. W
 hether you're a beginner or an experienced dancer or drummer\, all levels 
 and abilities are welcome.\n\nSchedule:\n• Drum class 4–5pm ($10–$20
  sliding)\n• Dance class 5–6:30pm ($20)\n\nCash preferred\; Venmo avai
 lable at the door. Drums available\, or bring your own djembe or dun dun.
