African Dance and Drumming

In an attempt to become an African, I started taking traditional dancing and drumming classes this week and I have loved them. On Monday I went to the Cultural Center in Accra where a group of professional dancers holds classes in traditional dance. It was hilarious when my group of friends tried to do the moves, but I had a really good time and got to shake it fast. In fact, I am convinced that I got my moves in the club from this kind of dancing. Miller knows exactly what I am talking about. I am definately bringing these dances back to the states and everyone had better be ready to see me bust them out in Cornerstone. Should be entertainment for all. I also sat in on a drumming class which I really enjoyed. It was held under this big tree and we all sat around and drummed...really nice and also relaxing. I am having a drum made so hopefully I will be able to practice and remember more of what I learned. Ahh these classes are so great. Agenda for the weekend still undecided. Perhaps a beach called Kokrobite or home with my roommate. We will see...
