Dear Members Forum member Carolyn Lilly has kindly arranged for us, for Mama Adelle from Senegal to deliver a 2 hour Sabar workshop on Friday 10 October 2008. A former dancer with the Ballet National de Senegal and with Ballet Bougarabou, Mama Adelle has taught African dance in Europe, the USA and Scandinavia for over 27 years. In 1991, Mama Adelle established Companie Niaba, and earlier this year organised the first Tanaber (a Senegalese dance event) in Paris, which was a great success. As well as being renowned for the teaching of Sabar, the national social dance of Senegal, Mama Adelle is an expert teacher in numerous dance forms from Senegal, Guinea and Mali. Mama Adelle is well known in the dance community for her passion and wealth of knowledge, and we are very lucky to have secured someone with such a wealth of knowledge in African dance and culture to teach this workshop.
