GIWAYEN MATA consists of 20 vibrant sistahs, who
enjoy teaching. During class, several GIWAYEN MATA
members are dressed to dance and help students
learn. GIWAYEN MATA takes pride in offering an
open class where dance enthusiasts can drop in, fit
in, and get a great cardio aerobic workout. The classes
cater to the needs of each student by grouping them
according to ability and then adjusting the pace and
technique for each group. Mamas, their babies, guys,
and folk of all ages participate in this heterogeneous
class.
Members of our local village, male and female
community drummers attend GIWAYEN MATA’s
weekly dance classes, using the classes as a place to
gather, hone skills, trade hits, and share their
knowledge of rhythmic, cultural and technical
drumming experiences.
GIWAYEN MATA often brings master dancers who
share a wealth of knowledge and stylized execution.
We also share our dance floor by inviting community
dance instructors who contribute a varied dynamic to
the dance student’s experience. Enjoy African dance
class with live drumming the GIWA way!
GIWAYEN MATA African Dance Classes are held
weekly at:
Dance 411 Studios
475 Moreland Avenue, SE
Atlanta, GA 30316
