## About this plan

Looking for something different to do in Bogotá? This West African dance and drum workshop is a cultural event you should not miss. Casona de la Danza hosts a session from the Toca que baile program, an invitation to move your body to live drums and connect with ancestral traditions led by local artists.

The session is free and blends live percussion with body movement. You will play drums and learn traditional dances at the same time. The experience helps you loosen up, share with others, and feel the rhythm from its roots.

Behind the activity are Nubia Fernanda Varón and Iván Zapata, from the Arte SinPausa collective and the group La Gran Chócolo. Both have spent years researching African-rooted arts in Bogotá.
