Trips
The Workshop will take trips to some of Guinea's most beautiful destinations. Trip options include:
2-3 days in the beautiful village of Boke, Youssouf's ancestral home
2-3 days in the small mountain city of Kindia with its cool nights, beautiful jungle waterfalls and stunning views. We'll explore Kindia's famous fabric market and have dance class in a giant bamboo grove. 
2-3 days on Roume Island, a tropical paradise off the coast of Conakry where we can splash in the perfect ocean waves after dance class on the beach.
Other possible destinations may be a peaceful village off the beaten path, or Bentouryah, Youssouf's lush, breezy patch of land on the outskirts of Conakry featuring gorgeous mountain views and delicious palm wine.

All scheduled trips are subject to change.
