In French
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).
