Our School
Kafolike Chicago is the 1st school created by Sekou Conde. This school has been in existence since 2013.
As a student of the school you not only learn various rhythms, history of the culture, the people, but the region of the rhythm in which we study in additional to solo phrases, build stamina, and more.

Teacher Certification?
The purpose of getting a Kafolike Teacher Certificate is to make certain that the teacher has knowledge of and understands the principles of the rhythms and its internalized functions. The certification process tests the educator’s knowledge and professional readiness to teach under the Kafolike curriculum. Generally, a Kafolike teacher will study with and assist the senior Professor for a period of time to become ready to either open their own school or become the official Assistant/Co-Professor of a school.
