Book us for Drumming Workshop & Community-based performances.
Malicounda Dance Company can create a community-based performance for all kinds of events, for companies, schools and festivals. Volunteers are chosen and given a 45 minutes workshop to create the performance. The volunteers perform on stage with Malicounda!
Malicounda offers unique workshops that will stimulate creativity, ingenuity, and collaboration open to adults, children and family!
Our goal is to provide a multicultural experience with musical instruments from around the world. By sharing with children, teachers, and the community, we open minds to the world. We hope to inspire the creative nature of children and adults alike. Participating in an interactive group performance using drums and other percussion instruments allows all voices to be heard.
Performances can also be accompanied by a Drum Circle , Drum Workshops or Dance Workshops.
