ABOUT MZURI CLASSES

Watch video to see some student testimonials.

Mzuridance offers a series of pop up African dance classes to a selection of music from local and international artists on week nights or weekends throughout 2018. Classes in 2017 were at the Abbotsford Convent and then popped up in Fitzroy at the Florence Peel Centre.
Mzuridance classes get you moving and grooving starting each class with gentle movement to warm up the body and introduce the body parts to moving in new ways. Body isolations and musicality are part of centre practice as well as exploring the music, history and repertoire to each style we are learning about, including country and artist. i.e If we play music from Tanzania, then we will learn about the repertoire, story, artist and technique behind the music and dance.
Award winning choreographer Suzie Mzuri Watts is your teacher at Mzuridance classes. Suzie has a Bachelor of Education in Dance and has been performing and teaching dance for 25 years. To read more about Suzie click here.
