Batalo does it for culture at ten

A lot happens in December that some of the biggest artsy events are either hidden between shows or happening away from the city centre. That was the case with the 10th edition of the Batalo Dance Festival at their home in Butaleja.

Under the theme, Cultural Preservation and Traditional Meets Urban, the festival aimed to inspire a generation that is not only aware of their talents but deeply connected to their roots and heritage.

At the heart of the festival was the goal of increasing the prominence and knowledge of traditional dance alongside urban dance. By fostering creative integration of the two styles,Batalo is keen on nurturing globally-aware young people who embrace their African culture and are ready to showcase world-class Afro-fusion dance on international stages.

This vision was beautifully realized through powerful performances and dynamic collaborations. Batalo Dance Festival is always a culmination of community collaboration with the foundation, bringing together troupes from different communities and professional dancers in one space. But that’s not all, they also invite the community as spectators.
