email:  Kdjosse@aol.com

    Seydou Coulibaly is uniquely qualified to teach and demonstrate West
African dance and culture. Unlike many Africans who emigrate to the United
States today, Coulibaly was educated according to ancient tradition: 
Coulibaly received his education from village elders, traditional rituals,
initiations into secret societies, and master dance teachers in the Segu
region of Mali. As a result of his studies, all of Coulibaly's work is
thoroughly researched and heavily steeped in folkloric tradition.
        Seydou is available to teach workshops and master classes throughout
the country.  Whenever he teaches a class, he brings a djembe player to teach
a drum (djembe) class as well.  He has also reestablished Troupe Komme Djosse
in America, having originally founded the performance group in Mali.  Komme
Djosse performs throughout the United States in the genres of dance,
drumming, traditional music, and contemporary music which draws on Malian
traditions.

                       GIFT OF RHYTHM AFRICAN DANCE STUDIO
Teachers Country of origin: USA
STYLE OF DANCE: West African Dance and Drumming
Description of Dance Classes: Beginners - Advance for ages 5-adults. Teach the Basic meaning of the traditional dances and songs with live drumming. I teach the dances in a simply way so each student, whether beginners or advance can learn. I teach dancers to listen to the beat of the drums, letting it connect with their spirits so that they can feel the music and express it through the art form of movement.

Class Schedule & Fees: Every Tuesday @ 7:00-8:00; $9.00 per class and $5.00 per class for disadvantage children and adults. My goal and desire is to reach out to families with children who are considered high-risk, poverty, level and disadvantage. I want to make my classes affordable so that these children and adults can have the same opportunity as families of middle and upper class families who experience the beautiful artform of West African dance and its' rich culture.

Resumé of teacher:  DELLA WESTERFIELD, OWNER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

   Born and raised in Denver, Colorado Della Westerfield, mother of four first took modern dance at age twelve; she began her African dance career later in life. She relocated to Augusta Georgia and began studying West African dance under the Acclaimed Artistic Director Sala Adenike of Body and Soul African Dance Studio.  Less than eight months later, Della was chosen to perform with the company, the Abatsu Dance Troupe, which performs throughout Georgia and the CSRA (Central Savannah River Area) as well as in South Carolina.  A member of the company for four years Della also assisted the Director in dance workshops.
 
    In the summer of 2001, Della relocated to Federal Way, Washington where she founded Gift of Rhythm African Dance. She has taught African dance to children and adults for the City of Federal Way Parks and Recreation and for the Federal Way  School Districts' three elementary schools' after school and summer school  program called Successful kids. She has also taught students at the Southeast Youth and Family Services in Seattle. She's taught dance classes for Just Dance Company, located in Federal Way, Washington. Della's goal is to build her own dance studio, GIFT OF RHYTHM AFRICAN DANCE as a strong pillar in the community for disadvantage children.
   
   Her desire is to guide students into the art form of African Dance, thru steps and movement. To teach them self-awareness, self esteem, accomplishment and self-expression.  Della's ultimate goal is to establish an African Dance Studio in Federal Way, Washington, Colorado, or Georgia for under privileged and high-risk children.  

    Della's goal is to continue to educate herself in the art of African dance and choreography, in order to be fully equipped to instruct her students.  She currently trains at Spectrum Dance Studio in Seattle Washington.  She believes that her talent and dream of dancing is truly a gift from God and her greatest influence and mentor is Director Sala Adenike who told her, "To be and excellent teacher you must be a student for life."

Teachers Country of Origin and Village: Ghana - Tamale
STYLE OF DANCE: Traditional Ghanaian
Description of Dance Classes:
Sweat, Smile, and Celebrate!!! Fun and energetic classes with live drumming focus on traditional Ghanaian and other West African dances. The earth and heart based movements are exciting and varied, yet appropriate for all levels.
African dance teaches the body a new vocabulary of movements and rhythms that classical Western styles of dance do not. Because of this it is a great "cross-training" opportunity for dancers of other styles. Lively fun for all, dancer or not, everyone takes something new away!
Awal Alhassan has been teaching everyone from complete beginners to professional dancers for over twenty years, and is able to lay out each movement so that every student leaves class amazed at how much fun they had and what they have accomplished.
Resumé of teacher:
Awal Alhassan was born and raised by a drumming and dancing family in Tamale, Ghana. He has performed with the National Theatre of Ghana, and The Center for National Culture Dance Troupe for years in Ghana, Burkina Faso, Niger, Togo, Benin, and other African countries. He has also performed with the Odaye Dance and Drum Center group in Accra, and at home leads the Zosimili after school dance program for youth. He has been teaching drumming and dancing since the age of seven, including a stint at the University of Legon, Ghana. In addition to leading Sohoyini, since his recent arrival to Seattle, he has performed with Gansango, Soyaya, Maya Soleil, Ocheami, Sarakasi, and Okropong and teaches regularly.

Rosa Maria has been bewitched by and fallen under a spell of dance since her early childhood. As a primarily African dancer she remains faithful to her roots, but besides she has also familiarized herself with dance styles from other cultures, like oriental dance and Brazilian samba. Rosa can pride herself on a successful international career. Besides a performing artist, she is also a qualified dance teacher with an enormous inspiration, who can pass on to her pupils the benevolent harmony between body and mind, that dance brings about.
