The Village in Worcester is set to host an enchanting event, the Send off Drum and Dance Circle, on Saturday, July 15th, 2023, from 5 to 7 pm. This captivating gathering promises to be a celebration of African traditions, music, and dance, where participants will have the opportunity to connect with their ancestral roots and share in the healing powers of rhythm and movement.
The event kicks off with the inspiring aftermath of the Courageous Conversation at The Village, a space for open dialogue and exploration of important topics. Following this enlightening discussion, Sebastien D., a representative from Ayiti, and Ade Ola, hailing from Trinidad, will take center stage to facilitate a sacred music and dance practice session. Both artists, as children of the Diaspora, carry the essence of Africa within them and seek to invoke its spirit through their art, allowing healing to manifest within every participant.
The drum circle, a staple of African musical traditions, will serve as the opening ceremony for the Send off Drum and Dance Circle. Participants will come together, forming a circle, each armed with a drum or percussion instrument of their choice. The collective beat will reverberate through the space, creating a powerful and harmonious energy that binds everyone present. As the rhythmic waves flow, they carry with them the healing powers residing within each participant’s body, intertwining and amplifying the essence of communal well-being.
Following the exhilarating drum circle, attendees will have the opportunity to explore the world of African dance. Sebastien D. and Ade Ola will guide the community in learning traditional dance steps, encouraging unity and a sense of shared movement. The dance performance that follows will be a testament to the transformative power of movement and the beauty that arises when people come together in a harmonious expression of their shared heritage.
The Send off Drum and Dance Circle warmly invites everyone, regardless of age, gender, or background, to participate in this vibrant celebration. The organizers emphasize the inclusive nature of the event, emphasizing that all are welcome to join and experience the healing, joy, and connection that African traditions and music offer.
