Afro dance: Exploring Azonto

Événement

This high-energy class introduces students to the foundations of Azonto, a vibrant social dance style from Ghana known for its groove, playfulness, and expressive storytelling. Participants will learn essential techniques, musicality, and cultural context while developing confidence, rhythm and skills. Open to all levels. Important Note: Bags are not permitted in the studio. If you bring a bag, we strongly encourage you to bring a lock so you can safely store your belongings in the locker room during the session. Facilitator Klassy is a dancer, choreographer, and teacher based in Montréal, known for her work in street styles including Hip-Hop foundations, choreography, and Afro dances—most notably Azonto, which she draws from through her Ghanaian roots. Her movement blends traditional influences with contemporary expression, to find her style, which is rhythmic, stylish and high energy. Her credits include choreography and performances for events such as Just For Laughs, the Montréal International Jazz Festival, MURAL Festival, Cirque du Soleil (Formula 1), the Montréal International Reggae Festival, En Direct de L’univers and the Grand Prix at the Ritz-Carlton. She was a finalist on Quel Talent with her team Lil Afro Krew, also featured in an upcoming CBC documentary. As a leader in dance education in Montréal, Klassy is dedicated to creating spaces where dancers of all levels can grow through meaningful, respectful learning. Her mission is to merge passion with purpose offering students not only choreography, but a deeper connection to the styles they explore.

CULTURE MONTRÉAL EN CARTE

About this map

Montréal has a rich cultural offering, but information is scattered across websites, social networks, noticeboards and posters. Getting an overview can be difficult. Montréal en culture aims to simplify discovery by bringing cultural activities together in all their variety. The project is also inspired, with some nostalgia, by the weekly calendar of the cultural magazine View, which featured a varied offering, from shows to talks and from popular events to more unconventional activities. Adding a map, Montréal en culture invites you to explore that richness across the city. Still a prototype, this independent project aims to become an essential reference for cultural outings in Montréal.

The site was originally designed for desktop use. A mobile interface is now available.

A broad understanding of culture

The directory takes a broad view of culture: artistic creation, presentation, heritage, knowledge sharing, and opportunities for discovery or participation. It covers the Montréal urban agglomeration, including its associated islands. Its scope develops with the sources and activities recorded.
