Wuza-Wuza

The Untermyer Performing Arts Council is delighted to present Wuza-Wuza at 7 PM, Saturday, August 21^st at Untermyer Park, 945 North Broadway, Yonkers.

Wuza-Wuza means “you and us together as one” and conjures the name of this dance company’s founder, Yawuza Alhassan, one of Ghana’s most internationally renowned dancers and choreographers, and founder of  Wuza-Wuza in 2000 to be a solo endeavor. It formally launched in 2005 at the British Council of Ghana by a group of Ghanaian artists deeply invested in the expression of African tradition and cultures.

All Wuza-Wuza pieces reflect life through the unity of rhythm and movement: the wide-ranging repertoire, culled from indigenous, imaginative, and contemporary sources, aims to unite, educate and entertain while representing Ghana and Africa around the world. Experienced and disciplined, Wuza-Wuza has been expressing the motto “Peace, Love and Joy” at international and national stages to the pleasure of its audiences.
