The first of six meetings of Tyehimba's workshop at Step One Dance Studio was held on Saturday afternoon (2:30 - 4:00 p.m.). There's room for more folks: come down if you are available!
Tyehimba started with a kind of multi-media show, trying to compact 400 years of song, legend, and history into an hour and a quarter (with the remaining 15 minutes devoted to the drums). I don't think I could be tested on the material - more a welter of visual impressions than anything else - but one could begin to get a sense of the pastoral folks of West Africa and their traditions.
