D'AFROGANG
Welcome to D'AFROGANG ACADEMY! Our class is open to everyone, some experience dancing is preferred. We focus on coupé décalé and ndombolo styles. Our aim is to create a warm and supportive environment where you can feel free to explore and enjoy the dance without any pressure or judgment. In our sessions, you will learn not just the steps, but also the cultural significance behind the movements, allowing you to connect with the music and your body in a meaningful way. The class is designed to be engaging and uplifting, encouraging you to find your rhythm and gain confidence as you dance along with others who are just as eager to learn. No partner is needed, so you can come as you are and be ready to move to the infectious beats together!
In the first 10 minutes of class, we will start with a warm-up that focuses on prepping your body and getting you in tune with the music. We take our time to ensure everyone feels comfortable and ready to dance. After the warm-up, we will introduce some basic steps and rhythms, breaking them down slowly so you can follow along easily. Throughout the class, we will gradually build up our movements and combine them into fun combinations. Remember, it's all about enjoying the process and having fun! Everyone is here to learn, and no one judges beginners, so feel free to ask questions and take your time.

What to wear
