Keiga Dance Company

Genre : Dance company
Principal country concerned : Column : Dance

Keiga Dance Company was founded in 2004 by Jonas Byaruhanga with the aim to provide young people with a platform to express and communicate thoughts and ideas relevant to their daily lives through the performing arts.


Having gained a wealth of experience through workshops and collaborations with internationally acclaimed choreographers, including Germaine Acogny (Senegal), Longa-fo (DRC), Annette Vogel (Germany), Mark Tompkins (France) and many others, Jonas was encouraged to build foundations for the development of professional dance and choreography in his home country Uganda. This idea became Keiga Dance Company.
