African Dance and African Singing
1000 Voices Project was founded on the conviction that whenever we raise our voices collectively, change is inevitable. The 1000 Voices Project offers people the opportunity to work together to stimulate self-awareness while cultivating basic human qualities such as compassion, understanding and respect.
The 1000 Voices Project offers a variety of programs in different settings bringing people together to build peaceful communities. African songs, rhythm games, dance, and storytelling are used to facilitate personal growth, community building and cross-cultural understanding. We hope that one day it will be common practice for people to gather in the thousands to work together in harmony.

I quickly realized that Nii Armah is incomparable to any of the African dance teachers I had encountered in the U.S. or in Ghana. In fact, I have never encountered another teacher in any discipline who so thoroughly challenges a student’s entire being. He asks students to enter into new cultural territory – a place where connection with fellow human beings is a priority, a place where respect and humility are vital, and a place where awareness and self-reflection foster personal growth. Nii Armah deliberately integrates these African cultural values into his classroom, illuminating how we can improve our quality of life and the health of our communities.
