GIWAYEN MATA consists of 20 vibrant sistahs, who enjoy teaching. During class, several GIWAYEN MATA members are dressed to dance and help students learn. GIWAYEN MATA takes pride in offering an open class where dance enthusiasts can drop in, fit in, and get a great cardio aerobic workout. The classes cater to the needs of each student by grouping them according to ability and then adjusting the pace and technique for each group. Mamas, their babies, guys, and folk of all ages participate in this heterogeneous class.
Members of our local village, male and female community drummers attend GIWAYEN MATA’s weekly dance classes, using the classes as a place to gather, hone skills, trade hits, and share their knowledge of rhythmic, cultural and technical drumming experiences.
GIWAYEN MATA often brings master dancers who share a wealth of knowledge and stylized execution. We also share our dance floor by inviting community dance instructors who contribute a varied dynamic to the dance student’s experience. Enjoy African dance class with live drumming the GIWA way!
