Mazoezi-African Dance Fitness Class

As part of the CSU Systemwide Cross-Collaboration Professional Development Program, many classes that were formerly in-person are now offered virtually. This gives us a unique opportunity to extend campus classes beyond campus borders and offer a new way to share professional development across the CSU!

Description: Join CSU Sacramento instructor Maria Muganzo, award-winning community dance instructor and choreographer, for a fun, active, and informative dance class. African dance utilizes all parts of the body and at times simultaneously. Dancers will learn how to navigate polyrhythmic beats and hip movement. Mazoezi is the Swahili word for exercise. October’s class is titled “Journey through Africa’s Influence” and dancers will learn movements and music that Africa has contributed to from around the world. All levels are welcome--no experience necessary. Join any class as your schedule allows.
