Do you remember when you first saw Asanti in Ghana? What was your first impression? Can you believe that they are now resident in Australia and manifesting their visions on the Ghana Australia Connection!
Well it is time to reawaken your Wild Moves and meet for a Ghana reunion for our annual dance and drum experience with Asanti. If you would like to perform and therefore have free entry into Rhythm of Africa please come along to the rehearsals below or if you are still knowledgeable with the dance or drumming patterns and have the confidence to just get up and perform it with Wild Moves, well then just jump in. However, you need to register so that I can provide a costume for you and if need be a drum.
This is a great time to catch up with friends that you haven't seen for a while, and to listen to new stories of recent travellers to Ghana and also to meet the "freshers" who are about to embark on a journey of a life time. Give them some good advice. Bring a picnic. Bring your photos.Appiah and Jacqui will be promoting their respective study tours to Ghana in January and June.
You will be joining with Wild Moves on the Surf Coast drummers and dancers led by Immanuel and myself.
Rehearsals: Every Tuesday in January 6-9pm, Bellbrae Hall, 90 School Rd Bellbrae
If you are a past Wild Mover that has been to Ghana, these workshops will be free and taught by myself at Centre for Wild Moves in Bellbrae, Surf Coast

It's amazing to think that I learnt Kuku with Asanti in Ghana and now Wild Moves is performing it for Asanti at the Werribee Zoo, in Australia. I love it! Thanks for the photos Estelle.
