Afro Swing
We will explore the connection between different swing dances and traditional Mozambique dance steps. The theme of Afro Swing is “life is rhythm and rhythm is life”. The jam circle – dancing in a circle – is of central importance in traditional African dance.
Kassawe
Kassawe is a dancing tradition from central Mozambique that talks about the importance of dancing in the circle and brings elements such as: improvisation, sharing, connection, rhythm, etc..
Kassawe is a dance originating from the province of Zambezia in central Mozambique. It aborts relevant questions about the importance and meaning of circular dances. In the African context, the circle constitutes the soul of dance, in the circle professional and beginner dancers coexist and support each other. In the circle we express our successes as well as our weaknesses. In the circle we have fun and share unforgettable moments.
