The Zuzu Acrobats fly into campus Feb. 15!

Prepare to be amazed by the high-energy acrobatic moves of the Zuzu Acrobats when they return to Northeast State Community College for two performances on Tuesday, February 15.

Sponsored by the International Education program of Northeast State, the Zuzu Acrobats raise the level of acrobatic dance to a performance art. The College were amazed by this exciting group from Mombassa, Kenya when they first performed on campus in February of 2020.

The Zuzu Acrobats feature fast pyramid building, contortion, tumbling, limbo and more as well as an educational lecture. Who knows, you might be invited on stage to take part in this exciting show!

The Zuzu Acrobats blend “circus” acrobatics with popular dance moves set to African music. The Zuzu Acrobats have performed in over 25 countries including Australia, China, Korea, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, and made their first appearance in America in 1999.

The free performances begin at 12 noon and 7:00 p.m. in the Wellmont Regional Center for the Performing Arts on the Blountville campus, 2425 Highway 75, adjacent to Tri-Cities Airport.

The production is part of Northeast State’s commemoration of Black History Month throughout February. For more information, contact 423.279.7669 or internationaled@NortheastState.edu.
