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.
