Set in the transcendent dance culture of Africa’s San First Peoples, SanDance! celebrates humanity’s original essence of dance.

Our enchanting film follows San dancers from rehearsals in remote villages in Namibia, South Africa and Botswana, to their electrifying performances at the Kuru San Dance Festival in Botswana.

Held on full moon, the Kuru San Dance Festival draws San dancers and musicians from across southern Africa to the largest annual gathering of San peoples.

SanDance! expresses the hopes and dreams of San dancers as they strive to revitalize their beautiful dance traditions, which are threatened by ongoing marginalization of the San’s fragile hunter-gatherer culture.

Radiating from the Kuru San Dance Festival into the visionary world of the trance-healing dance, SanDance! illuminates the spiritual traditions that underpin ancestral San culture across southern Africa.
