Welcome to African Experience
What is the African Experience?
It is an opportunity for anyone to engage with multi-faceted dancing that inspires people to be, to integrate despite origin and upbringing. In the words of the Early Years Learning Framework of Australia it believes in Belonging Being and Becoming. My name is Teremayi Manozho, (Tere) I teach and enjoy spreading spontaneous joy. I was born in Zimbabwe and had the privilege to train as a teacher in the United Kingdom
and taught there for 6 years. I achieved Qualified Teacher Status in 2007, Newly Qualified Teacher Status Induction completed in 2009. I have Permission to Teach in NSW, registered with NSWIT, I am Fully registered to teach in the Northern Territory of Australia registered with (TRB) and I am fully registered to teach in Victoria registered with the (VIT). I have been teaching in Australia for 10 years now. I am completing my Masters in Early Years Education. I have done workshops in regional and remote New South Wales, Queensland, the Northern Territory and Victoria for schools and many education centres. I will be continuing to do this and extending to other regional and remote states and territories of Australia. I perceive dancing as an outward expression of the interior. It is ignited and initiated by sound to the point that the very flesh (cage) fails to contain movement to the rhythm. Some restrain the desire to dance within and keep it locked for many reasons. I have found that it is too painful to do that, so I let it rip and explode out of me arms/ legs/head etc. Am I good at it? As long as I’ve released that which is restrained then I choose to say I am an awesome dancer. I encourage dance from the heart, the rhythm of the heart. My rhythm and gross motor skills developed in the Zimbabwe. These skills differ in many countries but with the sole purpose to escape the caged desire to leap to a beat.
