An African/Dancehall/HipHop dancecompany founded by two swedish coreographers during 2006.
Mixing traditional West African dance, Dancehall and Hiphop creating a new interesting style. The vibrant playfulness from the dancehall scene and the powerful dynamic of the traditional African Dance creates a wicked stage performance. :
