What amazed me about the drumming workshop was the incredible sense of community and positive energy that filled the space. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by both the staff and participants. The instructor was patient and truly passionate about sharing the intricacies of the rhythms, making it an inspiring experience. It was more than just learning to play; it was about connecting with others through music. I left feeling uplifted and excited to return, and I can’t wait for the next session!

It wasn’t long before I found myself fully immersed in the African dance class in Bedford-Stuyvesant. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such a warm and friendly atmosphere that I instantly felt at home. Youssouf, our instructor, was not only incredibly talented but also so enthusiastic about sharing the rich cultural heritage behind the movements. The way he broke down each step made it easier for someone like me, who's just looking for some stress relief through dance, to pick up the rhythm. The class was energetic and incredibly enjoyable; I left feeling uplifted and blissfully connected to a community of like-minded individuals. If you’re in the area and searching for a great way to unwind, I can’t recommend this class enough!
