The Queen City is a cultural melting pot during this weekend’s West African Dance and Drum Festival, presented by Burlington’s Jeh Kulu Dance and Drum Theater. For three days, movers and shakers of all ability levels can get into the groove with movement and percussion classes taught by internationally renowned artists from Guinea, Senegal and Mali. Those who are less rhythmically inclined can browse the African marketplace, which boasts clothing, jewelry, instruments and other authentic wares. For the night owls out there, a special Saturday staging at North End Studios gives way to an after-hours dance party featuring live performances by A2VT and DJ MoT.
