CEO of Dancetera, Robert Klah announces 10th edition of the ‘Ghana Dance Festival’
Dancetera, organisers of the annual Ghana Dance Festival has announced the dates for the 2024 celebration of dance’s biggest season.
The festival, marked with iconic dance events is set to officially commence from August 29 to September 23, climaxing with an awards ceremony to celebrate the icons of dance and their immense contribution to the culture.
This, marking a decade of dance celebration, promises to be nothing short of exciting. As dance takes center stage in the entertainment space, the festival is certain to bring quality entertainment to all, while celebrating dancers and their works.
According to Robert Klah, CEO of Dancetera, “dance means different things to different people. For some it is a source of exercise, an act of worship, a source of entertainment, a career path to earn a living, a study course for academic achievement, a sport for engagement, an intangible cultural heritage, an expression of art. Whatever dance means to you, the dance festival seeks to express it.”
He continued: “There are additions to this special edition, DanceSport League which the Dance Awards. For the former, dance being part of the Olympics is a great stride that needs the necessary local engagements to keep it active. For the latter, having the awards as part of the festival has been in the offing for long. This year, we are happy to purse this path.”
Activities lined up to celebrate the 10th edition of the Ghana Dance Festival include, dance awards, tour experiences, dance parties, workshops, seminars and performances expressed through the following dance forms – theatre dance, street dance, folk dance, praise dance, afrolatin dance, dancesport battles and more.
This event is set to pull participation from international dancers, with confirmations coming from Togo, Benin, Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya.
Ahead of the official launch slated for August, all dancers who wish to represent their passion are required to register via the Ghana Dance Festival social media pages.
