Omari’s class is a space of spiritual healing. His vocabulary in dance is stemmed from his roots in Senegalese and Mali.
In every class session, Omari breaks down the movements, history, and musicality that his style of dance comes from, to conceal foundation.
After his West African class at Peridance Capezio, we talked about the importance of African dance influence and breaking the habits of students relying on hitting the "crash" to train their ears to hear the music effectively.
