What will I learn?
You will start by building proper posture, body awareness, and a safe warm-up routine before moving into the core techniques that define Afro dance. You will learn how to hear and count Afro rhythms, then apply that musical understanding to foundational footwork, hip isolations, and upper body styling. From there, you will break down iconic moves like the Shaku Shaku, Zanku, Gwara Gwara, and Azonto step by step. You will assemble everything into a short performance-ready choreography set to Afrobeats music. The course also covers freestyle, personal style development, physical conditioning, and the cultural context that makes Afro dance meaningful.
