Dance Life Festival Welcomes Africalia as a New Partner

We’re excited to welcome Africalia as a key partner of the Dance Life Festival in 2025, marking a significant milestone in the festival’s growth and impact within the East African creative landscape.

 With Africalia’s support, we’re taking the Festival beyond its traditional venues in Nairobi’s CBD, and into community halls across the city – bringing dance closer to the people. We will also host the first-ever international ‘dance market’ in East Africa, creating new opportunities for dancers, choreographers, and industry professionals to connect, collaborate, and showcase their work.

Africalia joins our long-standing partners, Goethe Institute Kenya and TICAH, in supporting a diverse international line-up of performances that will reinforce the Dance Life Festival as a leading platform for dance in East Africa. 

The Dance Life Festival is deeply grateful to Africalia for sharing our vision and investing in the power of dance to connect, inspire, and transform. 

Stay tuned for more details on our workshops, performances, and special collaborations – this year’s festival will be one for the books!
