Ngoma Center for Dance, the parent organization to Dissonance Dance Theatre, is a company of smart, ambitious artists, creatives, staff and administrators who work together for a common goal, dance. Together, we are building a better artistic future for our patrons, students and our communities around the Washington, D.C. area.

At Ngoma Center for Dance, we understand that an organization is only as good as its people. This simple fact is central to all that we do.

We call it “the Human Mindset” – an organization-wide commitment to attracting and developing artists (and staff alike) to insight, innovate, aid, and care. This talented being ultimately learns and grows, adding richness to our organization.

Here at Ngoma Center for Dance, we know we can achieve our goals without great talent. People matter. We believe in seeking out people who have talent and the drive to make it within the arts industry. By supporting these individuals, through Ngoma’s developing programs, we all grow together as a team and as a community.
