This research project involves my journey to Africa to study traditional West-African dance and drum abroad at the University of Ghana. My goal is to develop a profound understanding of traditional dances and music. I will be obtaining a first person and hands on experience by being exposed to the culture and traditions associated in West-Africa. It is important for me to study and travel on the continent so that I can examine West-African drum and dance traditions and develop “ground zero” research. I will conduct my studies actively participating and grasping an in depth comprehension of music and dance.
