Zambian-born dance instructor, choreographer and
youth worker Mwaba Mubanga is the Director of Perth-based Afrofusion dance company Mubanga Culture.
‘It was only after I migrated to Australia and was
battling feelings of loneliness, isolation and cultural
identity confusion that I rediscovered my rich African
culture through my deep love for dance. African
dance fosters social closeness, promotes community,
connectedness and healing. Here, the individual sees
themselves as belonging to a group in a positive and
harmonising way.’
