Hello world

Welcome to our first blog post. Mambya Performing Arts Foundation is based in Kampala, Uganda . It was found in 2013 by Ssenyonga Oscar with the aim to give young African people a platform to express and communicate thoughts and ideas relevant to their respective lives through the performing arts. In the end of 2013 the foundation started a dance company--Mambya Dance Company--to provide more job opportunities for professional dancers and choreographers. Targeted mostly are young dancers and choreographers with the aim of promoting dance in Africa. Mambya Dance Company creates and performs a diverse repertoire of dances that range from contemporary dance to hip hop dances with the vibrancy of African traditional dances.
Stay tuned for updates on upcoming events.
