You’ve got your tickets to Dance with the Moon, now how about some traditional Zimbabwean dance classes with our guest artist, Julia Chigamba? Here’s your opportunity to go deeper with the music and culture, guided by a member of one of the preeminent musical families in Zimbabwe!
Julia has been teaching Zimbabwean traditional dance to all ages and levels for decades, and there’s no better way to immerse yourself in a culture than through its music and dance.
Wear comfortable clothing that you can move in, but not so loose that it will trip you or get in your way. African dancers dance barefoot, so make sure to leave your shoes at the door.
Come to one or come to them all!

*In African dance culture, it is appropriate and expected to tip the live drummers, many of whom are donating their time. Bring a few loose bills to throw in their basket, or add a tip to your class fee for them!
