Ethiopian Dance
Dates: 23-27 June, Mon-Fri 5-7pm
course fee £70 (concs £49)
Following all the publicity Ethiopian music got last year, this is your chance to try it yourself: in this course we will learn the ‘eskista' dance, as performed by the Amhara and Tigrayan people of the Ethiopian Highlands. The dance involves rapid movement of shoulders, neck and head, and is unlike any other African dance form commonly associated with sub-Saharan Africa. With Zewditu Yohannes Tadesse, accompanied by live musicians on the masinqo (one-string bowed-lute) and kabaro (drum).
