About Us
Immerse yourself in the splendour of contemporary African dance.
Established in 2014, Mafa Dance Village is a not-for-profit dance organization that explores lost stories through contemporary dance rooted in the aesthetic of South African culture and soul. For travellers and curious minds alike, we invite you to an offering of invigorating African dance classes, and exceptional company dance productions. Let this space connect you to the community and make dance weave into your everyday lives.
We strive to explore and acknowledge the past to share the present and innovate the future through the movement (voice of the soul), community engagement and spiritual journeys.

Mafa Dance Village uses dance as a vehicle to invoke stories that impact social unity to break the cultural silence by sharing our stories in movement, singing and drumming.
