Kpanlogo Basics
Authored By:
The air filled with “Won ya wo ya nu Koko”, as the Global Navigators learned the basics of the Kpanlogo, a popular dance performed commonly Ga people of Ghana. The students had the opportunity to be immersed in the culture of Ghana through dance. Kpanlogo introduced the students to a contemporary dance that allows for creativity and a variety of dance styles. The beginning of the workshop opened up with clapping, singing, and feeling the rhythm of the drums and calabashi shakers. The students begin to “let loose” and showed off their best dance moves to the group. Smiles and laughter filled to air as each student participated in the popular dance. The dance workshop will consist of 4 classes in total to allow the students to embrace a popular dance that is practiced country-wide.
