A Taste of Africa – Performance

Last Friday, Year 2 and Year 7 students enjoyed an exciting performance by Asanti Dance Theatre called 'A Taste of Africa.' The event was carefully selected to align with the relevant curriculum Music topics for both Year 2 and Year 7 Music classes, which focus on ‘Music Around the World.’

The interactive event immersed students in African culture and music. They learnt about African music instruments, dances, and traditional village activities. The artists showcased their talent and energy through a captivating performance. Students had the opportunity to play djembes, ask questions about African culture, and engage in drumming and dance activities.

The event left a lasting impression, fostering cultural appreciation and knowledge exchange.
