Join artist Edem Abbeyquaye for an inclusive Afro Dance workshop exploring rhythm, movement, and self-expression. Designed for participants of all experience levels, this session introduces accessible foundational Afro Dance movements and rhythms through guided instruction and creative exploration. Participants will learn a simple choreographed sequence to perform together at the end of the workshop while also being encouraged to move freely, improvise, and connect with the music in their own way. This joyful, community-focused session celebrates movement as a way to build confidence, creativity, and meaningful connection.

About 

Tett Centre for Creativity & Learning is excited to launch Creative Connections Lab, a free, inclusive, and accessible program offering arts experiences for adults (18+), with a focus on increasing access for individuals who face barriers to participating in the arts and opportunities for social connection. Through a series of interdisciplinary, artist-led workshops, participants engage with multiple art forms — such as visual arts, movement, music, and storytelling — while exploring self-expression, reducing social isolation, and fostering meaningful community connection. Second-language translation and ASL interpretation are available to support accessibility.
