Afro-House dance workshop

With Azzam Mohamed

Get into the groove with dancer and performer Azzam Mohamed in this high-energy Afro-House workshop.

Known for its infectious energy, intricate rhythms and dynamic footwork, Afro-House is all about finding your groove and moving with the music. Azzam will take you through foundational footwork patterns, key vocabulary steps and the rhythms that bring the style to life.

No dance experience needed. Whether you’re completely new to Afro-House or already have some moves under your belt, expect great music, big energy and a full-body workout that will leave you buzzing.
