COVID-19 UPDATE

KoumanKe’le’ African Dance & Drum Ensemble has been closely monitoring news and recommendations from the World Health Organization and the CDC regarding COVID-19.

ALthough it is our firm desire to continue dancing and drumming and sharing, the health and wellness of our community is our first priority.  For this reason, we have decided to follow our local government recommendations to cancel our Friday, Yetu Youth classes and our Sunday adult community dance classes for the remainder of March or until social distancing and self-quarantine requests have been lifted. 

We will continue to monitor this public health crisis and will keep everyone updated of our possible ONLINE adult classes or April class schedule and Yetu Youth make-up days.
