African Dance with Wangũi in August, at Various Venues

by with No Comment danceevents


Sun, drum, dance, spirituality, healing AND community this August with the range of African Dance events by Dance with Wangũi.

Join a healing dance workshop on the 15th August 5.30 pm in Westlands, and let the ingrained wisdom that lives within your body guide you to where and what you need to be whole.

If you missed your chance to connect to 7 Afrikan goddesses and explore your divine feminine through movement and reflection in the African Goddesses Dance Series, round 2 is here, beginning on the 17th of August, and running on Saturdays from 2-4 pm at Arboretum. Drop-ins also available.

And finally, a community dance event where we plant feet on the Earth, and move to drums at Uhuru Gardens on the 31st of August.

All tickets are available on a sliding scale ranging from KES 500 to KES 1,750. Get yours (and a couple for friends!) on wangui.org/events
