Ghanaian dancer and digital creator Lisa Quama has successfully kicked off her United States tour, with a dance class in New York attracting a sold-out audience and marking another milestone in her growing international career.
The session which happened at the Ripley Grier Studios in collaboration with DWP Academy USA brought together both experienced and amateur dancers, creators like Liya Dances, and Afrobeats enthusiasts for an immersive experience centred on movement, culture and community. Participants learned choreography from Lisa while engaging with the energy and creativity that have helped her build a global audience of more than seven million followers across social media.
This comes right after engagements with FIFA and Coca-Cola surrounding the just-ended Football World Cup. The sold-out class reflects the increasing global demand for African dance culture and Lisa’s influence as one of the continent’s leading dance creators. Known for her powerful choreography and engaging digital content, she has built a reputation for connecting audiences worldwide through dance and storytelling.
“This class was incredibly special for me,” said Lisa Quama. “To see that many people come together to celebrate dance and African culture in a new city is something I’ll always be grateful for. This is only the beginning.”
The New York class forms part of Lisa’s expanding international engagements as she continues to champion African creativity on the global stage through performances, collaborations and educational experiences. With momentum continuing to build, Lisa is hosting other dance classes in Philadelphia, Florida and the DMV area, as well as community events in key cities, creating opportunities for dancers and fans around the world to experience African dance culture firsthand.
