Dance & Art Alive Company organizes annual international festival activities in different parts of West Africa. Since 2010, after discursions with several international partners, we started to host and participate in salsa/Latin dance & music festivals aimed at boosting international relations and promoting tourism in Nigeria and other countries. We have held this event over the last three years in Lagos-Nigeria, Benin Republic, Ghana and Ivory Coast, with the aim of reviving Yoruba lost culture, promoting health & wellness, boosting tourism, building international relationships amongst countries and creating jobs. We consult for some West African countries on tourism development.
