STARTING NEST WEEK, Check out our series of 3 master classes on Ewe (EH-vay) dance from Ghana, taught by world-renowned Ghanaian Master Dancer Nani Agbeli, himself. Come join the party:

Sunday Nov. 23, 12noon-1:30pm
& Wednesday Dec. 3, 6:00-7:30pm
at The Dance Complex in Cambridge, MA.
Whether you are new to West African dance, or simply looking to tackle a beautiful tradition that is normally hard to find in Boston, Mr. Agbeli's teaching will inspire and challenge all ability levels. Set to live drumming of top area musicians, including Jerry Leake and Jeremy Cohen, this is a major cultural event not to be missed! Discount with pre-registration: 1 class = $15 / 2 classes = $25 / all 3 classes = $30. To register or for more information contact Jeremy Cohen at: 617.833.5207
And then ThisWorldMusic goes to Africa! We will be putting the "World" in ThisWorldMusic with an intensive 3-week drum-and-dance cultural field study to Ghana, a West African nation rich in music and dance. The course, being run through UMass Amherst, is currently slated to take place late July-early August. More details to follow.
So, keep checking our website for awesome pics, cool new videos and a continually updated workshop schedule. As always, keep it funky!
