Dance a little, drum a little

Posted by Kimberly Sherman November 4, 2009 09:49 AM

Burlington, Vt., shows its diversity once again with the Jeh Kulu Dance and Drum Theater presenting the state's Annual West African Dance and Drum Festival this weekend, Nov. 5-8. Join Jeh Kulu for four days of classes in West African dance and music from Mali, Senegal, and Guinea. If you are a bit intimidated to bang a gong, remember that observers are welcomed too. Founded in 1993, Jeh Kulu brings together people of all ages and backgrounds to embrace the traditions of West Africa. Performances will be at City Hall and Memorial Auditorium. Tickets and admissions vary per performance and class. For more information, visit online or call 802-859-1802.
