Our Members Alima accepts any and all students enrolled at the University of Rhode Island, both undergraduate and graduate.
ALIMA's vision is to establish an international academy for the teaching of African dance, leadership, communication, and holistic development. In its approach to performance, ALIMA seeks to create a special relationship with its audience intended to send energy out and to have that energy reflected back to the performers. The "Rhythm of the Soul" is Mission: In Arabic, ALIMA means, "Those who are skilled in dance and music." In addition to increasing awareness to appreciation of dance derived from Africa, ALIMA seeks to spread understanding of a lifestyle based on holistic development of the body, mind, and spirit. It focuses more on what people really have in common, and this is exactly what Alima does taking all different types of music that sounds good and that sends a positive message and performs to it. Although, people have different believes, different languages and certainly different dance rituals, Alima does not look at these differences. Alima believes that different nationalities and backgrounds should come together through music and dance. Alima wants the world to become aware of the diversity and the beauty of cultures fused together into one. Sayee International Dance Association is a family whose goal is to spread the diversity of dancing that derived from the African roots. 193 Coffeehouse Special events and updates are posted on our events Facebook page!
