Fara Tolno of the Kissidugu Foundation will teach all level dance classes for youth and adults this February 27th at the Gunnison Arts Center. Fara is a dynamic and accessible teacher that teaches a really fun class! Fara has his MFA from Colorado University in dance and is sought out as an instructor around the world. His dance classes will be accompanied by live drumming, including lead drummer (and Fara's little brother!) Etienne Tolno. 

Please wear comfortable clothes and bring a water bottle. Classes are generally danced barefoot but feel free to wear supportive non marking sneakers if you prefer. All ages of youth are welcome to kids class, and we ask that youth under 7 years of age be accompanied by an adult. Adults of all levels are welcome to class and if you have never taken African dance then Fara is the best teacher to start with. 

The movements will be a fun workout for your whole body and a great way to open your heart. Don't miss this rich opportunity to dance with an incredible African artist and learn about the movements and meanings behind the powerful dances of Guinea. It is also a wonderful way to celebrate Black History Month by getting to the roots of many Black American dance styles that are popular today!
