UMZIMBA sessions use traditional instruments such as mbira, hosho, drums and other percusive instruments to mark our dance session ceremonies. The mbira is an important cultural symbol, and an integral part of traditional music and dance, playing a central role in many events and ceremonies, as well as serving as an important means of preserving cultural heritage.

UMZIMBA is an enriching theatre-dance education. We provide a theatre dance experience through African and Contemporary dance that will support your child in developing their dance technique, creativity and group theatre skills. All of our classes are taught in our unique teaching model (developed over the past 12 years) that combines improvisation with set technique. Classes suitable for complete beginners and highly experienced young dancers alike. Our aim is to provide young people with the best theatre-dance training possible - participants will take a class to live African drumming at the end of each term.
We look forward to dancing with you....
