For this week’s session, we will be taking part in an Afro Beats Workshop 101 class.
Join us for the “Afro Beat TikTok 101”- a fun, relaxed, dance session where international students get together to learn about African?music and practice their?TikTok?dances which trended over the past year.
There will be weekly 1-hour dance sessions facilitated by an instructor in an on-campus dance studio. The sessions will begin with a brief introduction to the music/musician. Immediately after the dance session, you get to have dinner based on dishes from the music’s country of origin.

Our anticipated learning outcomes are that: 

• International students will get more comfortable in sharing their culture.
• The larger student community will develop a better understanding of the African culture.
• There is a greater appreciation for intercultural exchange despite racial/cultural differences.
• Improved mental wellness through human interaction.
• Improved physical wellness through exercise and food.
• Most importantly, join us to have fun!
