2008 Camp Fareta Program

The program will include three dance classes and two drum classes per day; other classes, such as balafon and dundun dance, will be offered as well. Youssouf Koumbassa will teach a dance class almost every day.

There will be at least one beginner-level dance class every day and, if numbers permit, we will add advanced drum classes to the schedule, so bring your drummer friends along!  Additional simultaneous classes will be added if attendance is high enough, in order to allow for smaller classes and greater learning opportunities.

In the evenings, there will be history or culture classes with drumming and dancing around the fire, plus other activities. African hair braiding will also be available, and many of our teachers and campers will be selling African products. Come prepared to enhance your style!
