In Europe, we were voted best corporate participatory variety show. In America, we work with major associations, sales meetings, conventions and product launches. Corporate America is using our performances to liven up diverse audiences and assist stiff corporate execs to inject life into many seminars and meetings. Many have seen and many more are yet to experience what we do. The Acrobats get their audience involved and energized with a well suited blend of lively dance music and synchronized feats of acrobatics that just don't seem to stop. Our main focus caters to contemporary companies, especially those in the computer, electronic, entertainment and information technology industries. This exciting display of thrills will motivate, invigorate and involve audiences in the single most memorable night they have had in quite some time.
OPENING ACTS and INTERMISSIONS
Due to the energetic style of our show, it is natural to deduce that we would work with a number of high profile clients included but not limited to the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Hockey League (NHL), the Women's Basketball National Association (WNBA) and the National Football League (NFL). A large number of the teams within these associations have leaned turned towards the African Acrobats as a source for half time entertainment shows. A major turning point for the Acrobats was the opening of the 1999 World Cup Soccer Tournament and the Pan-Am Games. There is yet to be a better 6-10 minutes in show business; this offers an explanation to why we are doing a large number of television shows and concert tour openings. In order to attract new attention to your product and company with a balanced combination of high energy and entertainment all you have to do is simply call on the African Acrobats!

THEATRICAL SHOW
We are a cultural phenomenon with elements of traditional African dance and music, however with the overseas cultural diversity, our shows are similarly catered to accommodate the hip hop culture, and some of the westernized trends. The performance has taken on a new life of its own, which is so 'hot' and has captivated audiences worldwide, it has to be handled with oven mitts. There is yet to be a language that translates and speaks to all members of the universe. For our younger audiences, Maranne Welch of the Pittsburgh International Children's Theatre Festival has created a user friendly study guide. The African Acrobats have worked with a number of North American presenters, in addition to the Theatre Festival, we have worked with The Brooklyn Centre, Chitauqua Arts Festival, Tribeca Centre, as well as several international festivals in New York, Toronto, Adelaide, Perth, Hong Kong, Seattle, Chicago, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa and many more.
FAIRS & FESTIVALS
The show works on almost any surface and is best performed as a twenty to thirty minute acrobatic performance. The African Acrobats do live, taped or hybrid music shows.
