Dear Sir/Madam
Receive my humble greetings, it’s of the greatest honour and respect that I write this massage to show an interest in participating or share our cultural dance in Dubai Tourism. I am Vumani Gasa (25) the leader and the dancer of the group called KANGAROO ZULU DANCERS from South Africa (Durban), we are doing traditional dance which is Indlamu Dance (our main dance), Gumboots Dance, Ushameni Dance, Isikhuza Dance, uMzansi Dance, Panstulla Dance, Tswana Dance etc. We perform in any kind of event and we are fascinated by the idea of tradition in such a way that we have performed in major events in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa and outside the country.
The group was travelled to New York City (USA) with the group which was formed especially for DanceAfrica 2018, Ingoma Kwa-Zulu Natal Dance Company directed by Duma Ndlovu. This super group was comprises members of four traditional and contemporary South African companies, these companies was selected on the auditions that took place on both Johannesburg and Durban, these companies was selected in auditions by the director of the DanceAfrica festival (ABDEL R. SALAAM) and the director of almost many best soaps in South Africa (DUMA NDLOVU). The group experienced a lot to work with them. I ask the Dubai Tourism to give me a chance if it’s possible to present my group.
