Nii Taagoe and Nii Boye from the Zamble African Dance company came armed with a djembe drum and lots of infectious positivity to spend a whole day with the year 7 classes. The day culminated in a dance off in period 5 where each class showcased their routine. The two Ghanaian men took the students through their paces and finally, as a surprise, turned the tables on the teachers allowing them to show their skills on the dance floor, much to the amusement of the students. A brilliant day that showcased the vibrant music and dance culture from West Africa which will lead into the year 7 drumming module in the spring in Music. ![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/321a.jpg)![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/321b.jpg) [ Riverside Summer School](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2015-09-30-riverside-summer-school) [Aspiration and Access day at Wadham College, Oxford University ](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2015-12-03-aspiration-and-access-day-at-wadham-college-oxford-university) ![Riverside Secondary School](https://files.schudio.com/riverside-secondary-school/images/logo/Logo_Footer.png) ### Riverside Secondary School Renwick Road Barking IG11 0FU 0203 946 5888 ### Social Media - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/riverside_campus/) [![Partnership Learning](https://files.schudio.com/riverside-secondary-school/images/logo/AAAPartnership-Learning_white.png)](https://partnershiplearning.com) © Copyright 2026 Riverside Secondary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://riverside-secondary.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
