Our school had the absolute pleasure of experiencing Asanti Dance Theatre's incredible performance and workshops at our Twilight Festival of the Arts, and I must say, it was nothing short of amazing! Appiah and the crew were absolutely professional, flexible and willing to work with what we needed for the event. Their energy and engagement with the audience was infectious, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The performance was a true highlight of our festival, with staff, students and their family members giving wonderful feedback about the experience. The workshops they conducted were incredibly fun and interactive, making it an enriching experience for all participants. Asanti Dance Theatre truly added a vibrant and dynamic dimension to our event, and we can't wait to have them back in the future. Thank you for an unforgettable evening of drumming, dance and culture

Appiah’s drumming was fantastic! He follows the children’s lead and works at their level of engagement, making it enjoyable for students, staff, and parents.

Sharing what daily life happens in Africa and the cultural reality was an insight not available any other way for our students. The hands-on workshops and traditional dance experiences put the students into a position of trying something new (in most cases) as well as 'walking in the shoes' of people from Africa who use drumming and cultural dance much more than the 'average' Australian. A positive adult example for our students from any background. Our 2 students from an African background can now stand proud having had such wonderful adult examples visit the school. Our students will have bonded by 'taking a risk' together and by being together in a special experience. Many students felt peer support and teacher support. They also received feedback from Appiah and Yoga which encouraged them.

It is rare to find a quality cultural performance and workshop experience which was perfect for engaging both our Primary and Secondary students. Thank you, Asanti Dance Company.
