Kpanlogo is a social traditional dance of the Ga people of Accra Ghana in the south. Kpatcha dance is a traditional coming-of-age dance of the Ga-Adangbe people of the southwestern part of Ghana. In this session, participants will learn Right Foot Back and Left Foot Forward Back, a choreographed dance by presenter, Christian Kofi Mawuko. The dance’s simple foot movements are an excellent way to teach students directions and to foster practice in moving the body and bouncing up and down. It is also a good warm-up dance for both student and teacher.
A native of Ghana in West Africa, Christian Kofi Mawuko began learning traditional rhythms on Ga, Ashanti, Hausa, Damgbani, and Ewe drums at the age of ten. He has traveled extensively throughout the world as lead dancer and master drummer with the Kyirem Cultural Troupe, a Ghanaian-based performing company that toured internationally in the 1970s and 80s. Mawuko relocated to the United States in1998 and has performed around the country since then.
