Ngenhloso yokuthola, ukuthuthukisa, nokukhuphela phambili ithalente yomculo wokudansa wasekhaya esigcawini somhlaba, i-Dance Afrika ingaphezu kwelebula nje—ngumnyakazo osebenzisa ubuchwepheshe besimanje ukuze ukhuphule izigqi zase-Afrika futhi unikeze amaciko amandla. Kusukela ngoJulayi 2025, lesi sikhungo esisanda kuqalwa senza amagagasi, sinikeza indlela entsha yokuphatha amaciko, ukuvelisa umculo, nokufinyelela emhlabeni wonke, sibeka iNingizimu Afrika njengesikhungo esinamandla esigcawini somculo wokudansa womhlaba.
Umbono Wokwenza Umthelela Emhlabeni Wonke
