Africa x 3 at the Old School in Gutau

Two Workshops and a Travelogue

1. Workshop on traditional African dance with Awal Iddris
In this workshop, you’ll dive into the exhilarating world of Kuku—a lively celebratory dance from West Africa that radiates pure joy! We’ll start with a dynamic warm-up that awakens your body and senses and perfectly prepares you for the movements. Then, together—step by step and full of energy—we’ll discover the typical arm and leg sequences of the Kuku dance. You’ll feel the rhythm, let the music carry you away, and find your own flow.

After several work-related stays in Africa and a few independent trips across the continent, I finally embarked on my first cycling trip.
