About The Mesgana Dancers of Ethiopia:
The Mesgana Dancers of Ethiopia are 10 girls, age 7-12, who perform traditional dances and song from across Ethiopia, while wearing traditional costume. The Mesgana Dancers show is a heart-warming celebration of Ethiopian culture with music and moves to get the whole family dancing and clapping. Last year's tour was a huge hit, making The Mesgana Dancers celebrities both in the United States and Ethiopia. They performed to sold-out crowds across the country, entertaining audiences that included thousands of Ethiopian-Americans.
The Mesgana Dancers are ambassadors of hope for all children in Ethiopia. As the world’s attention turns ever more towards finding solutions to the problems in Africa, The Mesgana Dancers bring a message of hope and celebration, as well as a positive and life-affirming glimpse of Ethiopian culture. All of the Mesgana Dancers are sponsored through COEEF’s school tuition program in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The Mesgana Dancers of Ethiopia Millennium Celebration Tour is a benefit for Ethiopia Reads (www.ethiopiareads.org) and our partner, the Children of Ethiopia Educational Fund (www.coeef.org).
If you are in the D.C. metro area we are in great need of volunteers to help make this event a success – we need hosts for the girls as well as general assistance at each performance venue. Please contact Catie Dupont at catie@ethiopiareads.org or call 571-243-1411 (leave a message with your name and number) if you are willing to help. Thanks!
