what people are saying...

“ACC is my favorite part of sixth grade! I love working with Mr. Charles and his staff! Hearing my students discuss learning so many things about Western African Culture makes my heart happy especially when they share how much they love drumming and dancing!”

Connie Tibke, Belle Ryan Elementary School

“I would recommend this program. It is laid out nicely and provides a wonderful foundation and hands-on, engaging activities that teach about and celebrate Africa!”

Ms. White, Belvedere Elementary School

“I appreciate you and the other ACC workers. You guys have helped me learn not only about Africa, but also about the history of it. I really love the dance we’ve been doing and I’m excited to perform it for the whole school. The drumming is also very fun, especially with friends.”

Duncan, Student

“Mr. Charles, I am so grateful that you came to Belle Ryan Elementary, you changed the world into a better place. If you didn’t make this program, I probably wouldn’t be dancing. This program really shows how amazing your culture is.”

Journey, Student

“I really liked ACC, I want to do it over and over again. My favorite part would be the dancing! The dance is very elegant. You taught us very well. I never had this kind of teacher before. You make sure we do it right, and when it’s time to dance or drum, you make sure we get down to business. I want everyone in the world to know about ACC.”
