What We Do

Kuumba Dance Ensemble, Inc. (KDEI) provides authentic West African Dance to children and adults in the community to expose them to the rich cultural traditions of Africa and the African Diaspora. In addition, we provide participants opportunities to learn drumming and dancing at the beginner, intermediate and advance levels for joyful performances. KDEI is committed to activities related to further education of our dancers and drummers such as studying weekly at Lynchburg Parks and Recreation and attending training conferences and studying with Master Instructors from across the country. Our #GivingTuesdayGreaterLYH greatest need is a reliable van to transport our children and equipment to performances as well as pick up children for classes and rehearsals.
