Wassa Dance

• http://www.wassadance.com

I teach Afro-fusion and African inspired dance classes which have been ongoing as my independent business since 1997. The name of this endeavor changed from POSITIVE SWEAT to WASSA DANCE in September 2007. The name change reflects a creative shift in the way I work with basic movement material. I also work in schools, lead several in-depth retreats every year and collaborate in public art projects. Music and its dissemination is one of the great passions of my process.

  I have played percussion for Lara's Sunday morning class for several years. She is an incredibly insightful teacher and dancer. You don't just learn dance steps from her - you'll get a whole new understanding of your body and how it can move.   [less]

  I've been taking Lara's dance classes for over a decade(!) and I feel very enriched from her talent as a teacher. Her classes are inspiring, fun, and the world music we dance to is very nourishing. Plus, her classes help me stay in touch with my body through stressful times. I highly recommend trying a class!   [less]
