I had an amazing experience. Jimmy is a patient and efficient teacher. I was able to fully learn the rhythms he showed me on the drums and more than one variation of a traditional dance all in one hour. He takes his time to ensure that you understand and can do each step but also encourages you to naturally enjoy yourself, connecting with the art without being too caught up in learning. Would recommend to anyone visiting Ghana and interested in connecting deeper through culture. Thanks again for an unforgettable experience !
Move to the rhythm!

This was one of my favorite experiences in a trip filled with wonderful experiences. It was so fun playing the drums and dancing - and getting to move to a Ghanian rhythm. Our teacher was fun and intuitively knew the best way to approach different styles of learning. We loved it.
Great!

We had a Wonderful time learning a choreographed dance routine as well as a full set on the drums. Our instructor was patient, knowledgeable and fun! Iwas also able to tell that he made adjustments to us based on how we were progressing. I'm so glad we did this. You can't go to Ghana and not learn the culture's dance and drumming language...and this is where you would come to do so!
Great Time!
