Ndere Dance Center

Ndere Dance Troop in Ntinda: This is a dance troop composed of dancers from all over Uganda. They perform every Sunday in the Ntinda district of Kampala, with dances ranging from those of the Acholi, to the Baganda, to the Banyakole, Karamojong,
Banyarwanda and what have you. For less than $2, you get three solid hours of music and dancing. One of these ladies succeeded in dancing and singing with SEVEN pots on her head (more like flower vases).
