Feel the rhythm of the beat and let your spirit dance as the West African Drum & Dance w/Jordan Taylor Hill event comes to the Albany Barn! Set your calendars for an immersive cultural experience on Monday, May 20th from 6pm to 8pm at the vibrant Albany Barn, located at 56 2nd St, Albany, NY. Prepare to be swept away by the rich traditions of Guinea, Senegal, and the African Diaspora.

The evening kicks off with an African Drumming class from 6pm to 6:45pm, where the pulsating beats will set the tone for a night of energy and connection. Following the drumming, from 6:45pm to 7:30pm, you'll have the chance to let loose in the African Dance class, moving your body to the rhythm and learning steps that have been passed down through generations.

No matter your skill level, from curious beginners to seasoned dancers and drummers, this event is an open invitation to all. With a welcoming atmosphere and a per-class sliding-scale donation, typically ranging from $10-$20, it's an accessible way to explore new cultural horizons. Even better, you don't need to bring your own drum—there are a limited number available on-site for participants to use.

Children under 12 are welcome to join the fun but must be accompanied by a parent or have prior approval. And while the beat goes on, the organizers remind everyone that health and safety are paramount. Participants are advised to exercise discretion, especially if feeling unwell, to ensure a safe environment for all.
