As an extension of Tamara Thomas Dance, I am excited to invite the community to take part in the Nkonsonkonson African Youth Ensemble. This completely new endeavor specifically uses the study and performance of West African dance and music to actively engage the youth in recognizing and championing their African selves as they frame their social responsibilities, spiritual spaces while building a balanced mind, body and spirit, towards a self sustainable way of life.

The ensemble runs from September 27 to December 14. Classes are from 11:00-1:00pm every Saturday. From 11:00 to 12:30 is music and dance instruction, and 12:30-1:00 is allocated to group development, assignments, sharings and reflections. The semester fee is $9,000.00 which breaks down to a contribution of $375 an hour. Needs based scholarships may be offered. The ensemble will meet at Liberty Hall at 76 King Street in Downtown Kingston.

This worthwhile investment not only benefits the youth, but your family and community as well. This fun, exciting experience speaks to the building of a circle. At the end of the term, the aim is to have a showcase and by extension of that, other performance opportunities. The cross-section of young ones will come from all walks of life...sharing their experiences with eachother...each one - teach one!

Even if you do not have any children, but just may know of some that would be interested, please pass the information on.


For questions and concerns I can be reached at 467-7910.

Lets continue to build the circle.

PLEASE SUPPORT...PLEASE DONATE

 

AS WE ARE A FLEDGLING ORGANIZATION, we are asking for your support in the way of sponsoring the term fee for a young woman or man who is eager to be a part of this most worthwhile experience.  

 

Currently PAY PAL is set up only to receive the full term amount of $9000 JMD or $95 USD, but we are working to adjust this technical issue, so that we can receive donations of all amounts.  

 

Please use the PAY PAL button below to send on your contribution.

 

Thank you in advance!  

 

Love and Light

 

Tamara :)
