Ko-Thi delivers a mesmerizing celebration of African traditions through powerful, authentic performances. Each dance is a masterpiece of athleticism and artistry, weaving together stories of heritage with passion. A must-see for anyone seeking an enriching cultural experience. The prices are reasonable and the dances are beginner-friendly.
Pros: My first community dance class was with this organization and they have not hindered since. They share the passion for African dance by continuing its legacies through our youth. Although not the only African company in our area today they our the eldest established in 1969. Cons: I would love more consistent opportunities to see them perform and offer outreach to more diverse communities. Many organizations in Milwaukee can benefit from this longstanding company.
Stellarly individuals coming together in the essence of culture, dance, history, and sound. Incredibly welcoming and accepting of all. Ferne is truly creating something beautiful here. Honesty & Love, Erin
