A dance class in Rufisque is an hour of hip-hop or Afro dance with a coach, in a friendly, motivating atmosphere. Classes are open to all levels, designed for beginners, accessible from age 5, and booked at a flat rate for a group of ten people at most.

Hip-hop or Afro: two styles to choose from

Two classes are offered, one hour each: a hip-hop dance class and an Afro dance class. Both are led by a coach, and equipment is included. Each option is priced at a flat rate, for a group of ten people at most: you book for your group rather than per person. That is handy for a group of friends, a family or a team of colleagues, who choose their style together.

No level is required: the classes are designed for beginners and open to everyone, from the age of 5. Bring sportswear and a bottle of water. You come to move, learn a few routines and let off steam in a friendly atmosphere.

If you live in the Dakar region, it is an activity to share with friends or family, to book for a birthday or a Saturday. If you are visiting as a group, it is an active moment that steps outside the usual tourist circuits.

Rufisque, south-east of Dakar

Rufisque is a town in the Dakar region that people often drive through without stopping: you pass along the N1 (Route Nationale 1), in the traffic, heading for Saly or the Petite Côte. That is precisely what makes a class here interesting: it gives you a reason to stop. The Rufisque department also includes the village of Toubab Dialaw, further south, with its cliffs and artists’ studios.

Extending the outing

African dance classes are available in other towns, and sports coaching and fitness offer other ways to burn energy. Heading south, the Petite Côte and its beaches are close, and Dakar remains within reach for a visit to the city.
