JoILT Dance Class:
Our six week dance series called 'Journey of Igbo Land Through Dance' - JoILT Dance for short is a unique dance series which explores Igbo culture through dance.
Students will visit Igbo States or igbo communities in each of these 7 states through dance:

- Anambra
- Delta
- Ebonyi
- Enugu

Each class is specially curated to focus on a specific State. During these focused classes, students will be taught some dance styles from that state, including a brief history of each dance. This is a great and unique cultural experience.
