Tsingory Dance and Music of Madagascar celebrates new and ongoing works in ethno-contemporary dance and music. It combines disciplines and artistic trends under cultural studies and experiments. Our dances present forms of art from our era, with works by in-house choreographers, and our music director and composer. Our goal is to present strong, educational and entertaining works of art. Our artistic vision is to be a vehicle for dialogue between cultures and generations. We welcome cultural exchanges between us and the audience through performance, discussions, workshops and instrument demonstrations.
Tsingory Dance and Music of Madagascar is a lively company based in Toronto Canada. We perform Malagasy dance with live accompaniment, using traditional instruments such as Marovany, Valiha, Sodina, Langoraona, and Amponga be. First created in May 2009 as Kintana Gasy, the company has been performing and teaching workshops for audiences of all ages. We offer workshops in French and Malagasy, as well as English.
