Konpa Workshop at NDH

NDH presents the Afro-diasporic Dance Series! Join Amin from Montreal’s MC Konpa for a 3-hour immersive introduction to Konpa. This workshop will help dancers build strong foundations while exploring the musicality, connection, and versatility that make Konpa such a vibrant partner dance. 1:00 PM – 2:15 PM | Konpa Basics Build a solid foundation by exploring the essential elements of Konpa. Participants will work on posture, basic movements, and flow to develop a clear and comfortable connection with their partner. 2:15 PM – 2:45 PM | Q&A + Mini Social A relaxed practice session where participants can ask questions, try what they learned, and dance in a supportive environment. 2:45 PM – 4:00 PM | Konpa Expressions Add flavour and versatility to your Konpa. In this session, Amin will guide participants through a short routine that introduces more complex variations and playful combinations, helping dancers expand their movement vocabulary while staying connected to the flow of the dance.
