The African Contemporary dance class is a combination of African traditional dance and Contemporary dance. The base consists of African traditional dance where feet move in rhythm with the music. There is always contact with the earth, her energy and her surroundings. African Contemporary dance is characterized by an undulating and smooth movement with the spine.

In my class fun always comes first. A relaxed atmosphere prevails with the focus on working together, making contact and get the best out of the students are important.

The African Contemporary dance class is:

• A powerful and energetic training for the body;
• Working on the basic attitude of the body;
• Working on coordination, strength, grounding and flexibility;
• Power training;
• Building a strong center and back;
• Moving on different styles of music;
• And having fun in dancing.

Reviews of students

• ‘Fun, energetic lesson!’ – Karien

• ‘Teacher was very nice and created a fun choreography for us. I would definitely try it again. So much fun!’ – Agnetha

• ‘I want to thank you again for the great lesson. It was a big step to start dancing again after 4 years. You are a really good teacher, with so much enthusiasm, patience and a clear passion for African dance and music. And that allows you to create a very nice and safe atmosphere in your class, in which everyone can clearly feel at home. I find that really admirable, because even if you still have an education, you cannot learn that at any education. It is in you or not. You have it and I have not often seen that with teachers’ – Christina

• Super lesson, highly recommended to shake everything loose’ – Nicolaas

• ‘Simone is a very enthusiastic teacher. Very nice lesson if you like dancing and want to try something different’ –  Anne-Sofie
