Far beyond learning how to make music together, an African drumming class is viscerally transformative.

You'll feel a magical, healing joy bubbling in the beating, synchronous heart of the experience.

Join us in a kinetic, communal celebration of what it means to be human.

Grounded in joyous vibration, we find our deepest shared heritage, the earliest pulse of human expression and connection.

“Brings Me Inexpressible Joy”

The magic, the healing I feel as I move through those ancient, powerful steps — breathing in and expressing their energies — brings me almost inexpressible joy. I smile so hard that my face hurts. Thank you for holding space for that beauty.
