Teen Afro Beat

Afro Grooves for Teens

This one is for you specifically. We take the same traditions, Afrobeats, Afro-diasporic movement, rhythm and cultural roots, and bring them somewhere that makes sense for where you are right now. You will learn movements that come from somewhere real, not just choreography pulled from a trend. You will sweat. You will probably laugh. And you will leave knowing something about yourself and about where the music you already love actually comes from. All levels. All bodies. Come as you are.

Ivan Touko, also known as Amöûgįvan, is a multidisciplinary artist, movement facilitator, and Selectah DJ rooted in Afro x Latin diasporic traditions and Ubuntu philosophy. Bamiléké from Cameroun and based in Edmonton, he fuses together dance, music, mindfulness, and somatic practice into experiences that help people feel grounded, free, and connected. Through Groove Activations with Ivan, he leads workshops across Canada and internationally that blend Afro, Caribbean and Latin movement with embodied wellness.
