Summary:
Amazing Rwanda cultural experience. I will never forget this. The people were welcome and friendly. They are all fantastic individuals. The dancing was fun. I did better at the drums than I thought. The teachers were awesome. They truly loved their heritage and sharing it with us.

Summary:
Friendly people who REALLY engage you in their dance and song. One brave soul should be prepared to offer a cultural something (song, dance, poem etc. ). So much fun and felt very culturally relevant.
