Weekly Mama Yangu KiVo Class

In this 1-hour KiVo class we will incorporate higher energy world dance while using the voice. We will be accompanied by music Lis has composed as well as music by other world artists. This class blends African dance styling with vocal percussion, vocal hocketing (interlocking rhythms) accentuating the tailbone and spine while building community through dance, vocalizing and improvisation. 

We will work in circles, lines and group, practice interlocking rhythms and group play and cultivate a sense of belonging.

You will get a good workout while empowering your voice!

Class Includes:

  • Warm up with fluid stretches and gentle vocals   

  • Ramp up with bigger movements choreographed by Lis

  • Vocal percussion and interactive rhythm exercises

  • Free form improvisation 

  • Relaxing into stillness
