Vision

We are a platform for dance and music entertainment. We believe sharing your authentic experience is crucial to building a connected world. Through our events and community, we’re creating a space for artists and fans to do just that.!

OUR MISSION

It goes beyond trophies, titles, or fame. The goal is creative expression: changing the world through artistry and motion. We’re embracing boldness, celebrating diversity, and connecting distinct, powerful sound and dance into one community.

THE NUMBERS

ADAA attracts YouTube stars, industry icons, and 100,000+ fans to events in more than 20 countries. No language barriers. No animosity. Just pure, awe-inspiring movement.

About Us

The African Dance Academy Awards (known merely as the ADAA) is a professional honorary organization with the stated goal of advancing the arts and sciences of the performing arts industry. The Academy’s corporate management and general policies are overseen by a Board of Governors, which includes representatives from each of the craft branches.

A vast majority of its members are based in Africa, membership is open to qualified dancers around the world.

The Academy is known around the world for its annual ADAA FEST, now officially known as The “ADAA Project”.

The ADAA Project has been the home for adventurous artists, audiences, and ideas—engaging both global and local communities. With world-renowned programming in theater, dance, music, opera, film, and much more, ADAA Project showcases the work of emerging artists and innovative modern masters.

Beyond Dance… 

Around 200 million people are identifying themselves as being of African descent live in the Americas. Many millions more live in other parts of the world, outside of the African continent.

Whether as descendants of the victims of the transatlantic slave trade or as more recent migrants, they constitute some of the poorest and most marginalized groups. Studies and findings by international and national bodies demonstrate that people of African descent still have limited access to quality education, health services, housing, and social security.  The ADAA Project raises the visibility of people of African descent and contributed to a substantive advancement in the promotion and protection of their rights in association with the United Nations, other international and regional bodies and civil society.

Attend The Awards

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to be a part of The African Dance Awards: The 1st Annual Celebration of the Year in Dance. After years of traveling the world with dance conventions and competitions, we saw a need to create one prestigious awards ceremony that recognized excellence in the past year of dance. Our vision would gather the most talented young dancers, dance instructors, choreographers and artsits in Africa’s entertainment capital – Lagos, Nigeria!

The closing awards show will be like no other. Awards are presented for outstanding individual or collective efforts in up to 20 categories.
