About:

West African dance is a vibrant, rhythmic art form rooted in tradition, community, and storytelling. Known for its powerful movements, grounded posture, and connection to live percussion, the dance celebrates history, expression, and cultural identity.

Our fantastic instructor, Deena Parrilla has studied West African dance for many years, and brings both deep knowledge and passion to her teaching, making it one of the styles she enjoys sharing most.
