Africa Day Drumming and Dance at Loughborough High School for Girls.

Loughborough High School LogoReturning for the Fifth Year running we were invited back to one of our favourite schools to work at; Loughborough High School for Girls. Having been to this school for years and taught about West African history, music and culture, and then leading drumming workshops, this time we had something extra special in store for the pupils; traditional West African Dance lead by our friend and professional dancer Diene Sagna.

Running our workshops separately from Diene’s dance classes in the morning, in the afternoon we came together for an ‘African Disco’ where the pupils, very uplifted and excited by their experience, were able to perform their dance routes for each other and to express themselves with improvised dancing.

As ever we were made very welcome by the friendly staff and well behaved Girls in a day we always look forward to. Special thanks to Sally Boon for the booking and looking forward to next time!
