Hi all,
The WAH WAH 4th Annual African Dance & Drum Conference July 11-13,
2003 at the College Park City Auditorium 3631 Main Street Atlanta GA
30337.

With all of these classes being held in Atlanta this weekend, we will
not be holding a drum class on Sunday at Earthshaking. We encourage
you to check out these instructors, to observe at a dance class or
two ($5) and if you can go to the performance on Saturday night it is
a great opportunity to see the drumming and dancing in action!
