Rhythm & Moves, a partnership between Northwest Folklife and the Secondary Bilingual Orientation Center, is an after-school program for music and dance.  In the 2008-09 school year, students worked with instructors from Gansango Dance Company, featuring Etienne Cakpo, master drummer and choreographer from Benin, and Siya Manyakanyaka, a dancer from South Africa, to learn drumming and dances from West Africa.  The students and teachers met twice a week from September through June.  Rhythm & Moves students performed at the Seattle World Rhythm Festival and the 2010 Northwest Folklife Festival.
