When a beloved leader falls, who carries the crown?

The Somali Museum Dance Troupe Showcase is a celebration of the most talented Somali dancers in North America. This show was created, developed, and brought to life by the Somali Museum’s program team and Dance Troupe, made for us and by us with passion and pride. The show features traditional Somali dance, music, and storytelling. Rooted in the art of riwaayad—Somali theatrical storytelling—this production highlights the significance of dance as a form of cultural expression and community. From beloved classics like Dhaanto, Jaandheer, and Sharax, to exciting surprises they’ve tirelessly worked on, this showcase promises a night of energy, culture, and performance you won’t want to miss! The Somali Museum is proud to represent by showcasing their talents and efforts to preserve and innovate the beautiful tradition of performing arts.
