African culture true ambassador for nearly 20 years, Just Aïssi promotes the heritage of his culture through dance… and boots! With his Gumboot dance workshops, he has developed an innovative concept, combining dance, theatrical mimicry, music, physical activity and culture.

Just Aïssi will introduce participants of all ages to the South African dance of Gumboot. This rhythmic and dynamic dance requires the use of rubber boots. The workshop covers the historical significance and origin of Gumboot dance in the mines of South Africa and participants will learn the basic, rapid and synchronized steps of this dance form.

Atelier de 10h00 (05-11 ans)
Atelier de 13h00 (12-18 ans)

Véritable ambassadeur de la culture africaine depuis près de 20 ans, Just Aïssi valorise l’héritage de sa culture par la danse… et les bottes ! Avec ses ateliers de danse Gumboot, il a développé un concept novateur, alliant danse, mimique théâtrale, musique, activité physique et culture.

Le Gumboot est une danse rythmée et dynamique, issue des mines de l’Afrique du Sud, nécessitant l’usage de bottes en caoutchouc. Les ateliers initient les participants aux mouvements de base rapides et synchronisés du Gumboot, en plus d’offrir un aperçu des origines historiques de cette forme d’art. Le plaisir y est garanti!

Co-présenté par le Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est (CECCE).
