Dear EarthBeat Music Family,

Let’s come out big for Seny Daffe’s West African Drum and Dance Workshops on August 24th (while also ringing in my birth-day, thank you very much!)

It is so special to learn from this phenomenal musician and dancer. Come for one, two or all three workshops! All workshops are all levels; beginners are very welcomed.

Registration will remain open until the workshops have filled.
