Melbourne Djembe Dun Dun Dance

Join International tutor Mitzi McRae of Melbourne Djembe for an exciting workshop in Dun Dun Dance! This is an art form where you get to drum and dance at the same time! Have heaps of fun challenging your musical and physical fitness as you keep the beat with your drum sticks and do some simple moves and choreography around your drum!

Drums and sticks provided, wear comfortable clothing you can move and stretch in, bring water and come ready to have a blast! All are welcome, no experience necessary!

Mitzi has studied West African dance for over 15 years and has travelled to Africa (Ghana, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Senegal, Gambia and Mali) and also to the United States to further her knowledge by learning from the masters. She is a natural teacher and over the 10 years of teaching African dance she has developed a unique style which provides a relaxed and open environment which is cherished by her students.

Mitzi has been hailed as one of Australia’s best non-African female dancers and captures the energy, vitality, joy and strength of the African dance style. Many of her students have been attending classes for as long as she has been teaching!

Testimonials:
"I love being in a class where people are so caught up in the dance that they don’t realise they’re grinning."

"...the steps are a sheer joy and Mitzi’s class always gives me a great experience of flow and spring which re-energises me for the rest of the week."
