Umoja Dance Company presents a wide variety of programs geared towards all age groups. The company is prepared to work with the sponsoring organization to design a program specifically to benefit the intended audience. Please keep in mind that UMOJA is a Modern and African Dance Company so please specify which dance form you are requesting. If an African dance is requested, 2-3 musicians must accompany those pieces.
