Events /DanceAfrica
Dancers in white outfits perform energetically in an outdoor urban setting. A group of seated people in white watch the performance, while a crowd on the right observes, separated by barriers. The event takes place under a clear sky.
A vibrant stage performance with dancers in colorful costumes, set against a green backdrop. They pose in dynamic, graceful positions, surrounded by abstract, nature-inspired set pieces and dramatic lighting.
A lively street scene with a group of people engaging in a drum circle. The central figure is playing a large drum, dressed in colorful attire. Onlookers and participants surround, some clapping, while others take photos
