This African Dance workshop...
Masem Enyong leads a fun and energetic class where students get to explore a fusion of traditional West African moves and sounds and contemporary Afro beats. She has been teaching West African dance and creative movement to K-12 students and adults for over a decade. Her unique style of fusing traditional with contemporary Afro beat sounds and moves fills the room with laughter and fun energy.
“You don't just leave my class with fun and sometimes new moves—you leave with a sense of love, hope, peace, culture and unity." -Masem Enyong
The Albany Branch Library endeavors daily to maintain its role as one of Albany Avenue’s most vital resources. The Albany Branch was established in 1926. It was first located in the Northwest School and then in rented quarters at 1239 Albany Avenue. The branch’s present location at 1250 Albany Avenue opened in February 1950 in a building designed by H. Sage Goodwin. In 2011 a new 8,000 square foot facility on the corner of Albany and Blue Hills Avenues replaced the sixty-one-year-old structure.
