Bring the Ritual of Dance & Drumming to Your Occasion
In our modern communities the celebration of our interconnectedness is often forgotten, yet can be transformative when remembered. West African dances and rhythms honor interrelationship with the rhythms of nature and with one another, celebrating and sharing life’s cycles and seasons.
Marita & Namory, along with New Moon Ensemble are available to provide modern community rituals catered to your occasion, incorporating traditional rhythms and movements danced for centuries in West Africa.
Bring the international ritual of dance and music to your:
BIRTH CELEBRATIONS * WEDDING CELEBRATIONS * HARVEST PARTIES
BRIDAL SHOWERS * BIRTHDAY PARTIES * GRADUATIONS
* OTHER SPECIAL OCCASIONS *
Performances and lessons available. Please be in contact here, with inquiries.
Guest Artists from Guinea Return to Maine, May 21!
Sidiki Sylla, Seny Daffe & Ismael Bangoura from Jeh Kulu will return for Mini Guinea Fest 2016 in Kittery ~ Save the date and stay tuned!

Dancing Back to the Earth
In honor of interconnection and in recognition of Earth Day, I encourage folks to walk, bike or carpool to class, give back to this Earth Mama that sustains us and take part in movements for Cultural Survival.
MAY WE ALL THRIVE.
I made this video in honor of our interconnection. The song is “Fala”, by Tom Diakuté, and the quote is from Anna Halprin. Photographers listed in video notes.
See you on the dance floor!
