This chapter provides a description of an Indigenous dance session, which was undergirded by the philosophy of Ubuntu. A step-by-step explanation of the activities that constituted the session is made. Drawing on the teaching processes of Baakisimba-Nankasa-Muwogola dance by Mathias Ssenkubuge in communities in Kyotera district in central Uganda, the description reveals how the pedagogies and the environment in which they were convened emphasized relational connections, interactions, and interplay between individual participants and the community. The reciprocal interchange between dance participants as individuals and as a community occasioned social construction of experiences and knowledge, meanings, and embodied actions. The centrality of music—singing, instrumentation, clapping, ululation, and drumming—in deepening social artistic innovation, fostering embodied inclusion, and activating kinesthetic explorations and connectivity is described. The chapter also interrogates the concept of ‘place’ and how manifests itself in Indigenous dance pedagogies. In the analysis, ‘place’ is conceptualized as the spatial environment in which teaching and learning occurred.
