Ntsoana Contemporary Dance Theatre (Ntsoana) is a Contemporary Dance based organisation committed to exploring the diverse and evolving South African cultures through the medium of contemporary dance and its relationship to other art disciplines. Ntsoana aims to promote the necessity and importance of cultural heritage and is interested in the changes and challenges that arise from living in South Africa and aims to express these experiences through the dance and performing arts. Through the Training and Development Programme, Ntsoana has developed the skills of a group of young adults in order for them to become employable, rounded artists who have internationally competitive standards of performance, movement analysis and choreographic skills that in turn will benefit South African Contemporary Dance. Ntsoana was formally registered as a non profit organisation in 2006 under the Artistic Directorship of Sello Pesa, internationally renowned choreographer and dancer. Ntsoana’s projects over the years have included performances at local festivals such as The Dance Umbrella, Arts Alive Festival, HIV/AIDS Festival, The National Arts Festival and Jomba! Contemporary Dance Experience.  The company has been invited to perform in Mozambique, the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium and has been involved in several choreographic workshop programmes as well as cross cultural, inter disciplinary interventions both locally (in Gugulethu, Soweto, Johannesburg and Alexandra Townships)and internationally in Germany. Ntsoana has also under taken performance projects in public spaces such as the Johannesburg Art Gallery, The Alf Kumalo Museum, Hector Pieterson Memorial, The Drill Hall, Museum Africa , Power Park and the Library in Sebokeng and endeavors to take dance and art into accessible spaces.
