OUR MISSION
The Umdabu Dance Company is a Birmingham,
Alabama based dance theater dedicated to the preservation and
presentation of traditional and Contemporary South African history
and cultural; particularly that of the Zulu people.
ZULU CULTURAL TIPS
:: Traditional Clothing of the Zulus are cow, goat, and goat skins.
Leopard skin was worn only by the Zulu Royal Family. :: Cow skin is used on South African drums. Goat skin is used on
sangoma (South Africa doctor) drums only. :: There are 11 different
tribes in South Africa. The Zulu tribe
is the largest. :: Before South Africa was
invaded by the Dutch, it was known as
Azania.
