International Dance Day feels like a good reminder of how much there is to learn from each other through dance.
Sharing a moment from Phase 2 of Rhythms of Africa with .friendship , curated by , led by Munkie Ncapayi.
We shifted from mbira and marimba into South African rhythms, vocal work, and gumboot dance and yeah… gumboot will humble you real quick 😂
It’s a lot of coordination, timing, and being fully present. Definitely no hiding in the back.
The focus wasn’t performance, it was presence. Meeting the work with curiosity, learning it in real time, and feeling how rhythm, voice, and movement all connect.
Big thank you to Munkie for leading with so much energy and clarity, and to Jacky and the African Friendship Society for creating the space.
