About

We are Fenix....a performing troupe specializing in dance and drumming from West Africa, the Congo and the Caribbean. Our high energy multi-generational, multi-ethnic group highlights the richness and complexity of traditional dance and music of the African Diaspora. Our journey begins in Africa then travels across the ocean to the Caribbean and the Americas.

  4. Hello, I am the coordinator for an April 7th Intl. Day event at our school, Thomas Edison Language Institute, and I am inquiring about whether or not you folks have a youth dance team to come to our school to promote your club and to do a dance performance? Please let me know if you have a dance team which travels to locations like our's?

    Thank you, Jon Holloway
