“Initiation” is a dynamic 45-minute West African dance and drum experience that follows the sacred journey from girlhood to womanhood. Through powerful rhythms, bold movements and rich cultural storytelling, the audience is invited to witness transformation in motion. Live drums, traditional costuming, and storytelling immerse viewers in the cultural rites that shape identity, strength, and community. This performance offers not just entertainment, but an embodied celebration of resilience, legacy, and the beauty of becoming.
SHAE Movement’s mission is to share and celebrate West African dance, drum, song and energy with local, national, and international communities!
