African Traditional Dance, Drumming and Music
Pan African Dance Heritage is a non-profit organisation from Accra, Ghana who seek to promote traditional African dancing and drumming throughout the world. Their show includes traditional dances from the Dagomba, Ashanti, Ga, Ewes peoples from regions in Ghana and the Republic of Benin – the show is a mix social, recreational, royal and courtly dances.
Through their dedication to African art, the Government of Ghana, under the auspices of the Ministry Of Culture and the National Commission on Culture, enabled the organization to represent the country in many international festivals.
