Ndombolo is a Congolese music and dance form that will get your hips and waist moving like wine swirled in a glass with the extra pepper of footwork.

About Arnold-“Ginga”
https://www.instagram.com/ginga_na/
Ginga (Nteranya Arnold Sanginga) is a Congolese artist from Bukavu, who dances to connect with people in community. His dance origins are in the social dances of Ndombolo, seben, Congolese Rumba and Kwassa-Kwassa. Yet in their journey they have been fortunate to learn from Korma Aguh-Struckmayer, Patricia Brown, Djenane Saint-Juste (Afoutayi Haitian Dance, Arts and Music Company), Wynn Fricke, Brian J. Evans and Darrius Strong. In short, Ginga is that uncle of yours ready to dance from sunset to sunrise.
