A great experience! - Jimmy is a fantastic teacher. He’s very patient, thorough, and a lovely person. In addition to a dance and drumming lesson, I also returned for a 1 to 1 drumming lesson.

Jimmy is the Heart of African Dance! - Jimmy provided an unforgettable cultural journey that truly immersed me in the heart of African traditions! His incredible patience, meticulous attention, and genuine care made the experience exceptional. Despite my initial lack of rhythm, he had me playing the drums and dancing with confidence, all thanks to his expert guidance. As both a teacher and fitness coach, Jimmy-Jimmy ensures you're engaged and active throughout the experience. If you're eager to learn, he's the perfect mentor to elevate your understanding of Ghanaian culture. I had an absolute blast, and I highly recommend wearing comfortable clothing, as you'll be moving and grooving in the vibrant heat of Africa!

Experiencing Pure Ghanaian Vibes From Drumming and Dancing! - I visited Ghana with my friends and we did this drumming and dance class together. It was such a fun and unique way to immerse ourselves in Ghanaian culture! The instructors were so patient and engaging in helping us nail the drumming rhythms, dance moves, and even the pronunciation of the song we sang. We definitely broke a sweat, but every moment was worth it. By the end, my friends and I were still singing and trying out the moves long after the class ended. If you’re looking for a lively and authentic experience in Ghana, this is it!
