The workshop will begin with a warm up, incorporating Talawa Technique™, designed to familiarize participants with Bantu and Mande (and their subgroups) religious and social dances of Central and West African regions. Participants will then depart from the continent on a journey, mapping locations along the transatlantic slave trade through specific movements that fluidly transition into the identities and cultures of Africana people along the way. Final stop, African American social dance.

Deeper dive in the roots of hip hop and the African Diaspora. Liberate your spine and pelvis by focusing on many different isolations, undulations, tick tocks, and body rolls. This class will help you find your center and groove while moving to music birthed locally in the Bay Area and globally.

Offbeat Crew is a Bay Area collective of passionate dancers bringing spontaneous joy through surprise flash mobs and fusion performances. On April 24, we’re taking over Lytton Plaza in Palo Alto with an energetic 5-minute Bollywood-HipHop fusion flash mob, drawing in passersby with great music and movement, then disappearing into the crowd. Free, fun, and open to everyone. Come see us light up the plaza!
