According to the CEO of the Ghana Dance Festival, Mr Robert Klah, “September, for us, has a new meaning. It means expression; it means dominance; it means art; it means showmanship; it means dance; and it means happiness. And we, in the dance community, would like to share this happiness with everyone. Our dancers itch as the drums beat with passion; the floor yearn for artistry; and the sound of the music seeks expression that only we can skilfully display.
So for 30 days, throughout September, as we celebrate the 3rd Annual Ghana Dance Festival, allow us to show, you why God is a dancer. September is our month.”
The purpose of the Ghana Dance Festival is to promote dance as a creative arts discipline, alongside with dancers, and dance institutions.
Thus all dancers are encouraged to come aboard and to participate in this grand celebration. More information and updates on Ghana Dance Festival are available on the following social media pages:
