I’ll be teaching a Coupé Décalé class, a street dance style from Ivory Coast known for its energetic, intricate footwork and fast pace. This dance style began within the Ivorian diaspora in Paris and gained widespread popularity after reaching Ivory Coast, initially influenced by Ndombolo from Congo. Today, Coupé Décalé is one of the major street dance styles in Africa. Additionally, I’ll be teaching an Afro Fusion Choreography class, which blends various African street dances. African street dances often influence and incorporate elements from each other, and Afro Fusion highlights these connections through dynamic choreography.
These classes are Dansehallernes second collaboration with Malmö Dance Week, a platform that supports the street dance culture and the people in it: link.
The classes are held at Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27, DK-1799 Copenhagen V, in Studio 3.
