Drum Circle with Soul in Motion: January 12th from 1 – 3pm

Experience the rich culture of West Africa with this treasured DC dance company. Soul in Motion provides instruments that are accessible even to the teeniest drummers. Your child will be swept up in the colorful costumes, spirited movements, and energetic drumming rhythms of this expert ensemble. The sense of connection and belonging that comes from a session of drumming together is inspiring for all ages.

Popular Club Joe’s Aftercare instructor James Fleet introduces children to the precise rhythmic and percussive movement of Step. Stepping is based on a long and rich tradition in African-based communities that use movement, words, and sounds to communicate allegiance to a group. Dress prepared to move!
