Hello, everyone, this is what's happening in the African and Latin quarters of London this week.
Feedback33 is a Professional Dancers' mentoring forum set up by
Sheron Wray. An opportunity to take part in various dance techniques with teachers from around the globe.
It is a chance to gain insights into the passions, challenges, and experiences of various artists and teachers.
The dance class will be "Shango" with live drumming. The session will be conducted on bare feet and the class will be open to intermediate and advanced levels only. The class will be divided into three sections: Warm-up where we will work closely with rhythm, focus on stretching, toning and strengthening of muscles, this will be followed by a routine where isolated steps will be taught in the first hour, followed by a short sequence in the second hour. And lastly, we will have a warm-down where we'll focus on stretching, relaxation and breathing. Some of these exercises have some yogic influences. The class will be taught in a fun, relaxed and friendly environment and structured to give a good understanding of the technique. All this will allow students to appreciate and experience the pure joy of Afro-Cuban dance within a traditional framework.

About Shango:
Shango or Chango (also Xango in Brazil), is the orisha who "owns" fire, thunder and lightning. He also controls war and the bata drums. Chango is the patron of masculine beauty, music and dance. In his dance he will butt with his head and do three forward rolls towards the drums no worries, I won't ask the students to demonstrate this. I don't think I can do it myself anymore!). He opens his eyes extremelly wide and sticks out his tongue. Characteristic movements are waving his hatchet and grabbing his testicles. No other Orisha jumps higher, dances more violently or makes stranger gestures. He commonly eats fire. Chango's dances are either warlike or erotic. As a warrior, he waves his hatchet and makes threatening gestures. As a lover, he tries to demonstrate the size of his penis, bumps and grinds and acts very lasciviously with the women in the audience. The circle of dancers imitate his movements and join in his sexual exhibitionism.

Joined University of Havana Folkloric Ensemble in 1994. Performed with them for three years until 1997 when came over to the UK. Acted as PR and Dance Officer for the group in addition to his role as dancer. Developed strong links with neighbouring schools and made the first forays into combining dance with traditional Afro-Cuban tales to form a prolific and rich story-telling project. Same project has been replicated in the UK on various occasions with the library services of Haringay, Barnet and Newham councils.

- Has written about dance and Afro-Cuban culture. In Cuba contributed to several theses and papers on Afro-Cuban culture by foreign students, dealing mainly with English-, French- and German-speaking pupils. In the UK has been published by the national newspaper The Guardian twice (Lázaro Ros, Obituary, March 2005 and 'Ballet is elitist and won't enthuse children to take part', June 2007) and by the monthly Latin American newspaper Noticias where he penned a column. Has also been profiled in Hotfoot magazine (2002), ADAD's main publication (now online).
