Lannaya Drum & Dance Ensemble

HAPPY MONDAY! Class is on tonight!

West African dance from Guinea, taught to live drumming — EVERY MONDAY night in Austin, TX. All levels welcome. Total beginners, curious movers, and seasoned dancers — just bring yourself.

Mami Sayon Camara leads the class as part of Lannaya Drum & Dance. An Austin-based artist and Guinean national, Mami's deeply rooted in the drum and dance traditions of Guinea. Mohamed Sylla, also from Guinea, lays down live drumming — rhythms you feel as much as you hear.

Here's what matters: this class was built to create steady income for Mami through her teaching. Every person who shows up directly supports a working artist sharing her culture and her gift with Austin, week after week.

If you've been looking for a way to connect more deeply — to culture, community, and living tradition — this is it.
