Uchenna Dance

Uchenna Dance

Uchenna Dance was formed in January 2009 under the creative vision and direction of Vicki Igbokwe. This year Uchenna Dance held it’s fifth Summer School at Wac Arts and following this successful endeavour together the decision was made for the company to set its base at Wac Arts premises in Belsize Park.

Uchenna Dance works with a dynamic mix of dance styles: African, House, Waacking, Vogue and Contemporary and as part of the residency will be teaching numerous Wac Arts programmes about these phenomenal dance styles that are not traditional seen in a theatre context. In addition, Uchenna Dance will be offering weekly classes to the public.
