Learn Indian dancing and get some light exercise with local volunteer Yasmin. All fitness levels are welcome. Yasmin has always loved to learn new dances from different cultures, and she is excited to bring this knowledge to adults at the Library! No registration required. Please wear something comfortable to dance in. Yasmin will have Saris to try on.
Yasmin immigrated from Africa to Canada in 1982.
Yasmin's mother immigrated to Tanzania, East Africa from India when she was only a teenager, where she eventually married Yasmin's father.
Along with her 4 younger sisters, Yasmin spent her childhood choreographing dance steps with songs from different cultures including Indian, African and Arabic, and performing them in community variety shows.
She believes music and dancing helps people to lift their spirits and is very healing. It is a means of bringing people together, no matter your background.
