Presented by the
Playhouse Company, the annual Ingoma Competition has been a resounding success
over the years, and 2025 sings no different tune! Now in its 11th year, this
vibrant celebration of traditional Zulu dance continues to grow in momentum,
bringing together some of the most talented dance groups in the province.
This year’s competition takes place at Curries Fountain Stadium (Berea) on March 21, 2025, with free entrance for all attendees.
Over 42 Zulu dance groups will compete in seven distinct dance categories, showcasing exhilarating performances of Isigekle, uShameni, Ingoma Yenzinsizwa, Ingoma Yezintombi, Ingoma Sikhuze, Indlamu, and Umzansi. These dynamic dance forms, deeply rooted in Zulu cultural traditions, highlight the energy, precision, and storytelling power of indigenous dance.
The Ingoma Competition is more than just a contest - it is a celebration of our diverse cultural identity and a tribute to the artistry of indigenous dance. The thunderous beats of the drums, the synchronized movements of the dancers, and the electric atmosphere create an experience that is both visually and emotionally captivating.
Gather your family and friends and join in for an unforgettable day of rhythm, movement, and cultural pride.
