African Drumming (Camden)
Join us to learn traditional West African rhythms, technique, and the deeper meanings behind each beat in an interactive class. Together, we’ll explore how drumming builds teamwork, focus, and self- expression while connecting us to African history and community. No experience is required — just a willingness to listen, learn, and feel the rhythm. Each class will include hands-on drumming, group call-and-response, and cultural storytelling that shows how music can heal, unite, and inspire. You will leave with stronger rhythm skills, confidence, and a deeper appreciation for the drum as both an instrument and a voice of the people.
