The Afro Dance Xplosion festival, celebrates dance forms from Africa and its Diaspora. We bring together the best of dance, with both homegrown and international artists. The weekend kicks off with a unique showcase, featuring a stunning collaboration of choreographers and artists. ADX 2024 - Beyond Borders is a celebration of dance, music and culture from Africa and its diaspora.
The ADX festival is a great way to celebrate dance in the African Diaspora by attending an exciting display of dance and music in the African Diaspora, by learning about dance and music in the diaspora and how these styles are heavily influenced by the rich culture and traditions still celebrated on the Continent of Africa. Come celebrate, by finding your groove with a choice of workshops from Traditional African dance, dance from the Caribbean (Guadeloupe), and Afro Fusion and HipHop with an Ugandan influence.
