Rhythm in Motion
Manga African Dance

Experience the pulsating sounds of Sunu, ceremonial music played by the Malinke people of Guinea and Mali during traditional festivals. This performance will transport children to the villages of West Africa, where popular American dances such as the Charleston and popular hip-hop moves were born. Founded in 1990 Manga African Dance has preserved, presented and taught indigenous African cultural arts through dance, drums, fashion, drama, songs, crafts, and more.

Aurora Theatre assembles the best children’s performers in the region, bringing them to Gwinnett County in order to give parents and their children a chance to experience their artistry in our amazing facility in downtown Lawrenceville.

We feature puppeteers, magicians, storytellers, jugglers and musicians as a part of this series intended for youngsters to have their first theatrical experiences. At about 45 minutes in length, perfect for the young attention span, these lively performances are fun for the whole family.
