West African Music Dance Ensemble

Directors: CK Ladzekpo and Betty Ladzekpo

The work of the Music and Dance Ensemble is based on the vast wealth of classical music and dance forms from West Africa. The Ensemble is seen as a guardian of the root dance forms of
West Africa, ensuring their integrity and clarity, maintaining a tangible link directly to West Africa and their cultural context. Though clearly West African in origin, the dance and music of the Ensemble is choreographed and composed specifically for an American audience.
