The Zamble Dance and Drumming Company
Today the children enjoyed a unique experience when Gaspard and Neboy came into school to teach them some African songs, dance and drumming.
They talked to the children about Africa and asked them if they thought Africa is a country or a continent and whether they could name any African countries. Gaspard and Neboy explained that they are from the Ivory Coast and Ghana.
The children then had a go at putting together some traditional African dance moves to the music of a Djembe (a skin drum) and sang some traditional African songs using the ‘call and respond’ method.
Each class then performed their dance during assembly and even the teachers had a go!
Why not ask your child to teach you some African dance moves?
