Dance soca, reggae, calypso and Afro-jive in this family-friendly event.

This family-friendly workshop and performance features West African percussion and dance with Imani Jendai and Tagne Tebu.

Participants have the opportunity to explore dance styles such as soca, reggae, calypso and Afro-jive.

The workshop is designed and delivered by Imani Jendai, an exceptional and dynamic performer and choreographer with extensive knowledge of many different dance styles.

Born and raised in Cameroon, Tagné Tebu is a multi-talented multi-instrumentalist, band leader, music director and composer who has worked with musicians from many different cultures and musical backgrounds.

His music blends African melodies and grooves with jazz harmony and is based on African storytelling on the themes of love, war and peace – it conveys a bittersweet sense of melancholy balanced by irrepressible optimism.

This event is presented in collaboration with Southbank Centre, for Refugee Week 2023.
