What We Do
Culture lives here – every month
From the royal court dance to children’s language classes, our volunteer-led programme keeps Lwo culture alive, breathing and growing in Britain.
Traditional Dance & Drumming
Practice sessions are held 2 to 3 times each month, typically on Sundays of the full Acholi repertoire — Bwola, Larakaraka, Dingidingi, Otole and more — with live drumming and traditional instruments training.
Explore the dances →Leb Lwo Language Classes
Children born thousands of miles from their grandparents’ homeland learn the Lwo language — so every child of the diaspora knows who they are and where they come from.
Weekly programme →Performances for Hire
Our celebrated troupe performs at weddings, festivals, graduations and civic events across the UK — full costume, live drums, tailored to your occasion. Every booking helps preserve the culture.
