10th edition of Ghana Dance Festival announced

Dancetera, the organizers of the annual Ghana Dance Festival, have announced the dates for the 2024 celebration of dance’s biggest season.

The festival, known for its iconic dance events, will officially run from August 29th to September 23rd, culminating in an awards ceremony to honor the icons of dance and their significant contributions to the culture.

Celebrating its tenth anniversary, this year's festival promises to be more exciting than ever. As dance takes center stage in the entertainment space, the festival aims to provide quality entertainment while celebrating dancers and their work.

Robert Klah, CEO of Dancetera, explained, "Dance means different things to different people. For some, it is a form of exercise, an act of worship, a source of entertainment, a career path, a subject of academic study, a sport, an intangible cultural heritage, or an expression of art. Whatever dance means to you, the dance festival seeks to express it."

This special edition will include new additions such as the DanceSport League and the Dance Awards. Klah noted, "Dance being part of the Olympics is a significant achievement that requires local engagement to keep the momentum going. We've long planned to incorporate the awards into the festival, and this year, we're excited to finally do so."

The 10th edition of the Ghana Dance Festival will feature a range of activities, including dance awards, tour experiences, dance parties, workshops, seminars, and performances. These will showcase various dance forms, including theatre dance, street dance, folk dance, praise dance, Afro-Latin dance, and DanceSport battles.

The event is set to attract international dancers, with confirmations from Togo, Benin, Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya. Dancers interested in participating are encouraged to register via the Ghana Dance Festival's social media pages ahead of the official launch in August.
