Cumbe’s talented and world renown teaching artists will immerse your community, party guests, office staff or organization into the diverse cultures of the African diaspora. You can make Martin Luther King, Jr. Day or Black History Month come alive in a brand new way with a cultural celebration or workshop.

Pre-Recorded Performances

Liven up your virtual staff meeting, organization’s party, group celebration or event with a fabulous cultural experience with one of Cumbe’s multi-talented teaching artists. Cumbe audiences experience excellence in dance and drum from the African Diaspora!

Performances can be incorporated into presentations & company-wide programs or provide entertainment for an entire lunch or break period or more. Pre-Recorded performances are ideal for cultural events, virtual festivals and other public programs, along with organizational retreats, fundraisers, galas, and so much more.

Cultural Lectures & Performance Workshops

Immerse your peers, colleagues and friends into the culture! Bring the magic of the diapsora to life through this multifaceted lecture, dance and music experience. Bring the group together to put culture into practice. Our Lecture Demonstrations start with a brief presentation, sharing insight and awe of the culture you’re exploring. Your instructor then progresses into an interactive workshop that invites participants to engage different cultures using dance as a tool that builds respect for the richly assorted forms of cultural expression.
