A NEW DAWN FOR AFRICAN MUSIC AND DANCE

We are ADANTA – African Dance and Theatre Association. We are a charitable organisation based in the UK. For over five years we have actively promoted African culture through dance, music and drama; in the UK and Overseas. We invite you to share with us this rich cultural heritage.
