YOUR FACILITATOR
Jack Strand, facilitator & founder
Jack Strand has been playing and teaching West African djembe for over a decade. He started Djembe Denmark because he believes the drum does something no team exercise can fake: it puts people in the same moment, strips away the role they walked in with, and lets them be seen.
Alky Plus, West African Dance
A professional dancer and choreographer from Guinea Conakry, trained at the National Guinean Academy of Arts. Alky founded his own dance company in Dubreka in 2012 and has performed across Africa and Europe. His classes are high energy, joyful, and always live.
