Namory Keita and Seny Daffe

Belfast Dance Studio welcomes master drummer Namory Keita and master dancer and drummer Seny Daffe from Guinea, West Africa for a one night only drum and dance class on Wednesday, October 28th at 5:30-8:00pm. Drum 5:30-6:30pm and Dance 6:45-8:00pm. These classes are open to all, no experience needed.

We are so excited that we are able to bring these artists to Belfast as well as Portland and Kittery at the end of this month due to a collaborative effort with Belfast Dance Studio, The Dance Hall in Kittery and Embody the Rhythm in Portland.

Both teachers are extremely jovial and knowledgeable about their culture, the rhythms and their meanings as well as the expressive dance movements and songs that tie them together. Students are welcome to come to either drum or dance class, or both. If a drum is needed, you must contact Namory to reserve your drum at Namorydrum.com.

Dancers are welcome to simply show up at class in loose comfortable clothing, traditionally this dance is done with bare feet, and traditional cloth, but anything comfortable is appropriate. Cost is a sliding scale of $20-$25 per class and cash is greatly appreciated.
