  • Are scholarships available?

    Scholarship opportunties for 2025 are now closed. Thanks to overwhelming support from our partners and sponsors, Conference costs are greatly reduced to create more community access. We recommend purchasing the all-access pass to save over 50% of the total fee.

  • Is Supper & Sabar FREE?

    Purchase of an ALL ACCESS TICKET PASS guarantees free entry.
    General Admission is $25.

  • Is the full schedule posted?

    Yes. Please refer to SCHEDULE

  • Can children/youth attend?

    Yes, but they must be accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times. Parents/guardians are especially required to monitor younger children to ensure they are not running across the dance floor, blocking dancers' path during each Lab session.

  • Will there be Djembe Dance & Drum?

    As the name suggests, our conference specialty is SABAR, with hints of Serer, Koutiro, Serouba, and Wango. Artforms specific to Wolof and Serer ethnic groups of Senegal / the Senegambia region, where drum is played with hand and stick, and dances are high-energy and almost aerodyamic in nature.


    **NOTE: SabarEDU community cultural activations and pre-Conference activities incorprate our specialty Sabar vs. Djembe Labs. These intensives reinforce and compare sabar traditions with those of diverse ethnic groups of Senegal, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, and Mali.
