Prices do not include airfare and you will want to bring money for souvenir shopping, tips, snacks, soda/juice, and an occasional restaurant or unplanned outing) You will meet and study with several different master teachers during your trip. Workshops will include Senegalese, Malian, and Guinean style dance and drum. Moustapha will be honored to introduce you to some of his finest teachers, fellow performers, and good friends. All levels are welcome. Instructors will be sure to provide challenge for experienced drummers and dancers while supporting beginners in learning the basics. You will stay in a rented house in M'bour. This will be a real taste of Africa, providing you with a deeper and more authentic understanding of African life than you would get from an air conditioned hotel room. We will provide you with a list of items to bring for your own comfort, including a sleeping bag and mosquito netting. You can expect to feel safe and welcome everywhere you go with Moustapha. His family and friends will be working to prepare for your visit and to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. This trip is designed for flexible people with a spirit of adventure and sincere desire to see the real Senegal. Africa can be a challenging place. But, you can be sure that you will feel welcome, that you will learn a lot and that Moustapha will be working hard to make your trip a safe, pleasant experience that you will never forget. Moustapha provides a schedule that is rich in varied experiences, but also leaves time to relax and visit with new friends. The Drum and Dance Workshop will run Monday through Friday each week. We will study from 9:00am -12:00pm and from 3:00 -6:00pm. There will be time in the afternoon to rest, swim, or visit with new friends. Moustapha will arrange for you to watch a rehearsal of professional dance and drum company Bougarabou at some point during the workshop. On the weekends Moustapha has planned some visits:
