Join
Fana Soro and his daughters
Mimi, Kaly and
Nadjema as they share their love of rythyms and dance from their beloved Cote d'Ivoire - and get some exercise too! These classes are available to men and women, although the djembe drumming is advertised as a "women's only class" that is advertising left-over from the previous instructor. No experience is necessary, beginners welcome!
For dance, we dance in bare feet and we dance to live drumming, bring a sarong wrapper to wear over your work-out gear...
For drumming, we do supply djembes, but you are welcome to bring your own djembe. Ages teen and up only please.
Starting January 11th, 2011 and running for 10 weeks every Tuesday night!

Fana Soro and Masabo will be showcasing on March 2nd, 2012 for Artstarts in Schools at the Orpheum Theatre Annex, Vancouver's newest, fully equipped theatre just one block away from the ArtStarts gallery in the heart of downtown Vancouver. We actually are not sure how many times Masabo has showcased for Artstarts since the group was formed back in 1997, but our educated guess is that we have been on the showcasing stage at least 10 times!
Fana is pleased to be involved with a wonderful Ottawa-Gatineau based Arts Organization called One World Arts. Every Friday from 3 - 4:30pm he is sharing his culture through music and dance with kids aged 6 to 12 in an after-school program. On May 27th, he and his students will take their learning to the stage and perform for the community. Please see One World Arts for more info.
This will be the 3rd invitation that Fana has had to attend the 8th Annual Festival Internacional CEDROS-UP in Mexico City in March 2012. It is a fantastic festival, the warmth of the organizers, the excitement of the participants, not to mention the FOOD of Mexico, is very memorable!
