This day of drum and dance is intended to be one of those little bits of good. Come join us for a day of peace, joy, and unity. No matter who you are or what your skill level, we’ll guarantee some high energy, uplifting fun!
Because 2023 was an EPIC all weekend event, we’ve decided to do it again and this time with all women instructors! They are excellent professionals of West African music and are well known nationwide and globally. So come join us for a weekend of a meaningful learning experience, connecting with a wonderful rhythm community, and having some outrageous fun! See the registration button below for their Saturday and Sunday am and pm classes ! And don’t forget, we will gather for the FREE Drumming for Peace, Joy, and Unity from 7:00-9:00 Saturday night in Downtown Decatur (set-up at 6:30).
Our Mission: To welcome our teachers and all participants to Atlanta with joy, warmth, respect, and love. We want to provide you with a fun, joyful, and historic immersion experience and bring together drumming and dance communities from the Southeast and beyond, in the spirit of the Mandingue djembe tradition
