HARTBEATS TEACHER, JUSTINE HART
A holiday in Senegal in 1998 to do African drumming just for the fun of it turned into a life changing experience! Keen to play the rhythms I had learnt, I started a community drum circle with friends in High Wycombe. This evolved into formal classes whilst I continued to attend courses and workshops in the UK as well as countless trips back to West Africa. Since 2008 I have been a full time self-employed teacher of West African drumming, running workshops for schools, community groups, team building, parties and festivals. I started an additional evening class in 2003 in Wendover which still continues, to this day, on Wednesdays in Ellesborough. I also organise events every year inviting teachers from West Africa to run workshops and performances.
Alongside my dedication and passion for the drumming, I have always loved dancing and although I do not claim to be a professional level dancer, I have trained with West African dancers throughout all the years of drumming. I want to share what I have learnt so that everyone can experience the joy of dancing these wonderful moves to the fantastic West African djembe and dundun rhythms, plus the added bonus of keeping fit!
