Hogbe Consolidated Dance Company

The Dance Company is based in Ghana, West Africa. It is the parent organisation of several local Cultural Dance Groups scattered across the regions of Ghana.

 

In addition to Professional performance, ALL our members have been trained to Teach any class of groups and individuals.

Our Vision Is With A Difference
We have 15 local Cultural Dance groups scattered across the country. Most of them work at their various Cultural and Dance Art centres. We therefore have a team of highly skilled African dancers who can also teach others of different culture and background. In total we now number over 1,000.
Our Dances are ORIGINAL and AUTHENTIC

It is sad to note that the major source of historical information in most parts of Africa is oral tradition and Ghana is no exception. At the moment we are well trained in over 100 dances. We believe that the older folk in the remote villages have a wealth of information on the traditions and dances of their areas. It is not a good idea to contact an elder who has not stayed in his traditional area for the greater part of his life. He may either tell you the truth that he has no knowledge, or he will tell you half truth.

 

We also believe that in order to be sure of the facts, one needs to contact as many elders as possible on a particular subject and compare notes. That is exactly what we have done and continue to do.

 

Our team does thorough and careful research into the dances before introducing it to the groups. It therefore implies that we do not normally encourage choreographs, even though we have some of them created by our teachers and National Technical Director.

We have more than one profession!

It is interesting to note that including professional drummers and dancers, we consist of Mechanical Engineers, qualified Accountants, Computer Scientists, Fashion Designers, Musicians, Building Technicians, Psychologists, Secretaries, etc., yet during our trainings and rehearsals, one hardly notices any flaws. Our training grounds are full of skills and mastery and are entertainingly spectacular. Our cultural troupes are a formidable force of personnel as we exchange knowledge, and many people want to join us.
