Mory is an amazingly talented skillful dancer whose performance energy is simply captivating and inspiring!African Culture's dance classes are full of tradition and have a loving family feel to them, which makes them a special type of dancing school! Hour and a half long classes to LIVE DRUMMING is an experience like no other!  Hardwork and fun for people of all ages, race, size, and gender!! I highly recommend African Culture as a friendly environment to challenge yourself to learn the art of African dancing!

Mory is an amazing dancer and teacher! Possessing the perfect combination of patience and enthusiasm, his classes are high energy and lots of fun. It's also great to learn about the history behind the routines; bringing little snippets of West African culture to Canberra!  Mohamed has that special ability to cater his classes to all levels. Whether you have never drummed in your life, or have years of experience on the djembe, you will walk out of class feeling challenged and inspired. Especially after a long day at work, playing funky African rhythms with a friendly teacher and fellow drummers is an incredible stress reliever!

Mory is an amazing, dynamic high energy dancer whose style “just makes you want to get up and move”. Having been to many of his dance classes I can say I’ve found them to be fun, inclusive and a great opportunity to learn his beautiful style.  Mory is encouraging, helpful with technique and ensures one is left feeling uplifted by the joy of the dance. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an energetic, fun-filled experience into West African culture.   Mohamed is one of the world’s foremost djembe players.  He is passionate about spreading the joy of the djembe and the music and culture of Guinea. I’ve been fortunate enough to participate in many of his drum workshops and can attest to his ability to create a space of “community of music” – catering to all levels.   One is left feeling uplifted and nourished.

Mohamed Bangoura: In the first workshop that I attended of Mohamed's, he taught us that the word "djembe" translates into English as "joy". I have only been lucky enough to see Mohamed perform maybe a half-a-dozen times,but he clearly lives and breathes the spirit of djembe when he plays. There is lightness and a playfulness in his performances, and this shows up in the way Mohamed runs his djembe classes as well. And when he cranks it up, you literally cannot see his hands because they move so quickly! It stuns me that Mohamed, one of the world's best djembe players, is coming to Canberra and that he will be teaching and inspiring beginners like myself. It's like Jimmy Hendrix coming and offering beginner guitar lessons.It's a bit surreal. But I'm not going to question our good luck. I'm going to sit at the feet of the master and soak up all that I can while he's in Canberra. It is a golden opportunity. Mory Traore: Mory has been expanding my horizons with his lush world of traditional African dancing, music and singing. Two years ago I was a complete dancing novice. Mory has created a space where I can dance alongside quite accomplished dancers and still feel part of a cohesive corps, as well as feel that my more limited expression is still worth nurturing and encouraging. He runs a dance class, but creates community.Mory is a wonderful example of how a man can be both superbly gentle and seriously strong.
