Getting started – Entry level moves. Connect with the rhythm and get your blood flowing.
Joy – Lift your spirits. This is what dance is all about!

Dancers with Melbourne Djembe do lots of performances!
Throughout the year, there are a range of opportunities to perform. They are all very relaxed, low-pressure events… (not compulsory, but HEAPS of fun)
End-of-term performance nights
Most terms we run a social get-together evening to showcase what we have been learning in class. Snacks, informal workshops and a chance to get to know the community.
Flash Mobs
Look us up on Youtube! Some of our flash mobs in Melbourne CBD have gone viral. SO much fun.
