African Music & Dance Camp – Full Day

Are you looking for something different for your kid to do this summer? Kutandara’s Summer Camp is a unique program that gives children an in-depth opportunity to explore music and dance from Zimbabwe. Young people play by ear and build their musical confidence on all levels.

African Drumming + Gumboot Dancing

Zimbabwean Songs + Games

If your kids are already doing music, this is the perfect match. If your kids haven’t yet had success with conventional music – you’ll love this! No prior musical experience necessary.
