    New Classes & Sessions

    As Winter turns to Spring, BCCA is adding new classes and revamping past ones.

    Sundays keep getting better with a new and explosive lineup of African drumming and dance, beginning on March 7th. Join Sidi Mohamed 'Joh' Camara for weekly Rhythms of West Africa classes, followed by DeAma Battle's African Rhythm Dance . Joh will be teaching a special Dansa drumming class as part of Women's Day on March 21st. Dansa (Embracing Womanhood) is a rhythm played to challenge women to show their honor to their family and to show that they are ready for marriage. Dancing to this rhythm is a part of an initiation ceremony for embracing womanhood. Originally from Kita and called Diaoura, Dansa was the name given to this act of honor in Kasso, which is in Northern Mali.

    Take a detour from Africa to Japan, and experience the awesome Tsuji-Ryu Kobudo: Samurai Taiko Drumming class, now on a new time and day, every Tuesday from 8:30 - 9:30 pm. Returning for a 2nd session of tango classes are AnaLinda Marcus and Shalom Volchok, who will offer two levels of classes beginning on Saturday, March 13th - Fundamentals of Argentine Tango and Continuing Tango - Feel the Magic! .
