A Pre-Professional Pipeline
The Ngoma School provided pre-professional dance training that informed and encouraged the pursuit of post-secondary education, healthy living, mentorship, self-care, and life skill mastery.
School year programs offered the highest quality of instruction in ballet, modern, jazz, and hip-hop technique, alongside electives in African Diaspora forms. Financial assistance has been a permanent feature of the program since its founding and remains intact for relaunch.
