Agasimbo Acrobatic Dancers

About

The Agasimbo acrobatic dancers are unique to the southern region of Burundi and are a joy to watch, carrying a lasting legacy known throughout the country and the world. The dancers spin their bodies around and move according to the rhythm of the troupe’s clapping and foot-stomping. Admire the pure talent and suppleness of the dancers, who have learned the tradition by passing it from father to son since the Burundi monarchy. The dance is performed to strike up joy for inhabitants in the region of Buragane, particularly in times of abundant crop yields in the fertile area. The dancers are regularly invited to diplomatic events and perform to welcome distinguished guests to Burundi. It’s a spectacle you won’t want to miss.
