Salish Sea Ballet announces a FREE cultural enrichment class on Friday evenings from 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm. Join us as we learn traditional Rwandan dance from Rwandan native and Spring Street International School student Michaella Ibambasi.
Music and dance are long established customs of the Rwandan culture. Whenever people gather, be it for a ceremony, to welcome visitors, celebrate a marriage, or other reason, a troupe of really good dancers starts the day by entertaining the audience.
Rwandan dance is a traditional storytelling art form used to explore themes such as war and victory, courtship, and games. It is one of the aspects of Rwandan culture that visitors and tourists are fascinated by due to its originality and complexity.
Explore this lyrical, fun, and unique dance form in our ongoing class – starting this Friday and running through the school year. There is no cost to attend, but optional donations for Spring Street International Schoolʼs Rwanda Scholars Program will be gratefully accepted.
Classes meet at the Salish Sea Ballet studio, at 689 Airport Center in Friday Harbor. For more details, contact Salish Sea Ballet at (360) 298-1720 or by email at dance [@] salishseaballet [.] com.
