The Ngoma Reader (NR) is a Bi-Monthly online publication that gives literary voice to the minority dance artists of Washington, D.C. NR speaks through three core components: Community (D.C Dance Directory), Awareness (Shows, Events, Projects, Season Announcements), Celebration (History, Spotlights). The origin of Ngoma Reader sprang from a need for us at Ngoma to archive vital stories of artists and provide a “go-to” news source for what’s going on in the D.C minority dance
community.
