dancers, singers and drummers bring the reverberating syncopations of
Africa
with their highly charged energetic performances of traditional and
contemporary ceremonial, social and folk dances! The company fuses different
regional African dance styles, delivering a fresh and unique approach to the
African dance concert stage. The Company performs for local, national and
international audiences, and has had the honor of performing for numerous Heads
of State, including the Honorable Nelson Mandela. The dance company is made up
of South African natives, other continental Africans and Americans.
Presentations include performances, residencies, classes and workshops for
elementary, middle and high schools, colleges and universities, civic and
professional organizations, festivals, churches, weddings, conventions,
conferences and other functions.
