| Abdou Sarr |
On Sunday, February 21, 2:00pm in The Hubbard Room of the Russell Library Abdou Sarr will give a workshop and demonstration of West African dances. Mr. Sarr is a master teacher of
the sabaar and djembe dances from Senegal, West Africa will be giving a
demonstration/workshop in the Hubbard Room. Abdou Sarr is an extraordinarily dynamic
performer. He is currently dancing and teaching in arts-in-education settings
in the Northeast. Mr. Sarr teaches private classes, and performs with several
artist groups. The workshop contains much more than learning Senegalese Djembe
or Sabaar dances. The students’ experience will include learning and practicing
West African dancing, some singing or call and response, hearing about Abdou Sarr's
childhood in Senegal, why he values education and why he dances. He will also
teach some basic Wolof phrases.
All
ages and abilities are welcomed. Drop-in, no registration.
This
program is being sponsored with funds from The Friends of the Russell
Library.
