Our students were invited to attend a performance on Thursday February 26th, right here on the Lehman College campus, of this renowned East African troupe who masterfully combine traditional culture, breathtaking athleticism, and electrifying entertainment.
A generous contribution from the PTA made it possible for our entire 9th grade to attend the performance.
Traditional African dances, South African gumboot dancers, Gabonese tumblers, percussionists, jugglers, acrobats and contortionists packed this performance with incredible feats.
It is a powerful and educational performance that celebrates the beauty of African roots, culture and rhythm.
The Tanzanite African Acrobats have performed in more than 25 countries since the group was founded 15 years ago in Mombasa, Kenya.
They have been featured on “America’s Got Talent,” “The Late Show with David Letterman”, and at three Super Bowls.
