Germaine Acogny Technique
Please email info@vocabdance.co.uk to discuss further
Germaine Acogny Technique is the only codified Contemporary African Dance Technique “The body, the timing, the inner and external rhythm. The freedom of the body through discipline - that’s Germaine Acogny’s Technique” The specific teaching of Germaine Acogny is based on her African modern dance technique, a synthesis of traditional dances from West Africa (Sahel and the forest region) and Western contemporary dances. Alesandra Seutin is the first and only UK based dancer to have obtained the diploma in Acogny technique by Germaine Acogny, at the École des Sables, Senegal. There are only 17 people around the world to have this accreditation. Alesandra Seutin adds to it, her essence, power, grounding and infectious energy. She aims to develop dancers presence, fluidity, power, connection with self and others, musicality, dynamics, grace and placement within their own bodies. Germaine Acogny is the first woman in Africa to have started, as early as 1968, to develop a contemporary African dance. She is now regarded as the mother of contemporary African dance. Her technique is absolutely comparable to Western techniques such as Graham or Limon. Alesandra Seutin is available to teach this Contemporary African Dance Technique.
