This dynamic dance company thrills audiences with Congolese and Pan-African-derived dance and drum presentations, guaranteed to inspire, invigorate, educate, and entertain. The company celebrates rich cultural traditions from the African heritage, as well as the contemporary African-American experience.

African Dance brings together all the arts: music, theatre, visual art, and movement to form a complete artistic and cultural statement. To Sangana reaches a worldwide audience through the rigorous, theme-based, and excitingly joyful dedication of professional dancers and musicians.

Through company performance and interaction with students, To Sangana emphasizes:

  • Enhanced cultural understanding and awareness through dance and music through its expressive qualities.
  • Improved understanding of dance as a way to create and communicate meaning.
  • Expanded knowledge of the African cultural influence to movement and music of the past and present.
  • Heightened sensitivity in identifying movement elements and skills in dance performance, with the ability to listen and focus in on sounds.
