Workshops at Hobuveski

Everyone interested and courageous enough can take part of free workshops on improvisation and African dance, directed by Jattamarie Rauhaluoto (Finland). African dance is a modern style of movement based on ritual dances of native Africans. It's main characteristics are the vivid and diversely rich rhythms on one and expressive movement on the other hand. Workshops are accompanied by live drumming!
