Pantsula is a fast, smooth, typically South African dance with lots of footwork and to a driving sound. The type of workshop we offer is fun and very interactive. All classes are held with special attention to the individual needs of the participants and are suitable for people from 12 years of age and all levels of physical fitness. After an introduction and a warm-up, movements and jumps around the room are practiced and condensed into a small choreography at the end.
