World Beat Center - Balboa Park - Drumming Class
Ok, its worth a 2nd post as I’ve written about the World Beat Center in Balboa Park before. But, if you haven’t been yet to a class at the World Beat Center in Balboa Park you have no idea what you’re missing.
This week-end I took a group of my friends and it was an unbelievable experience. Our instructor Nana Yaw Asiedu was exceptional. Fun, warm, sense of humor, great with kids. They accomodated us with finding drums for everyone (and we were a huge crowd - nearly 40 or more families) and he had us all engaged.
The drums were varied, shakers for each child, similarly varied, we learned African language, we heard African Stories, we learned dances. Nana kept the program age appropriate, but managed to keep adults, children ages 2-12 engaged.
Make visiting the World Beat Center a priority. You won’t be sorry. Classes are offered throughout the week. If you have a private group they will work with you on a class on your own.
