KongoBeat is a core centered, hip rhythmic, high energy, uplifting, and culturally rich Kongolese Mbongi (Village) class that focuses on both traditional and urban dance styles from the HEART of Africa; The Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Republic of the Congo. This experience encompasses the base of the past to understand the now, the present, and the future through the sounds of traditional Ngoma's (drums), Ndombolo, Soukouss, and fusion Congo-beats.

Eto’o Tsana & Mabina Danseuses Dance Company founded in 2011 by Artistic Director Eto’o Tsana focuses on the principles of Cultural Performance, Humanitarianism, and Anthropology from a Kongolese dance and cultural perspective. Eto’o Tsana & Mabina Danseuses Dance Company is a direct reflection of Ms. Tsana’s deep rooted studies, travel experiences, diverse dance training, and her multicultural origins that aim to challenge the complexities of ‘Our Being’ as displaced children of the Motherland. It is through individual and collective histories, self-explorations, intellectual and cultural exchanges that makes Eto’o Tsana the International Ambassadrice of traditional and urban Kongolese Dance.
