AfroFusion Dance is a unique blend of traditional and modern day African derived movement. Students will learn popular Afrobeats moves and classic West African steps from dances like Kuku, Manjani, and Sunu. AfroFusion will help dancers to release and express movement without a rigid “technique”form. The movement is wholesome, expressive and can be uniquely developed to show students personal character through dance. This dance style will not only peak students’ interest, but it will also be educational. Students will learn how trendy ‘Tik Tok’ moves  were actually derived from traditional dances in different regions of Africa, their practices behind the dances, and the influence from geographical location. On Top of that, the sensational rhythms originally created by Fela Kuti, the original Afrobeat ‘King’ and how they have inspired today’s music!
