next step

After the farewell dance performance, I was on a high.  I felt the energy of the room when my dance company, MufukaWorks performed. We did it. It was the best night ever. We cried and all. By far, the best that I ever performed but most of all I saw the growth of my dancers.  They were professionals. They were stars. It was their moment. It was by far way more than my expectations. It was God. 


Here is some video footage:

It was the farewell dance performance.  It was a farewell to one chapter and a opening to a new chapter. For MufukaWorks Dance Company director Elsie Mufuka (me) was moving from the hometown Beaufort, SC (MufukaWorks home base) to Charlotte, NC. The distance was 4 hours away. The same distance that I traveled for a year for graduate school.  I simply had to be honest to myself and realize that I could not do the commute anymore. It is my last year of graduate school and I am working on my thesis.  The pressure of travel, work, company, and school. Something was going to give.


My students are my teachers and I am a example to them. I teach them the importance of education and they taught me a true reflection of myself. So I made a hard decision and I made a farewell to Beaufort, SC to continue to finish my schooling.  All in all, my decision made after lots of prayer.  It was the best decision. 


MufukaWorks dancers will always be MufukaWorks


1) Three of the dancers went to college and the knowing that they could do anything. Anyone who knows MufukaWorks knows once you enter MufukaWorks only the strongest survive.  With that said, they could handle anything now in life.  (Who says Art does not develop the mind?).


2) Through all the MufukaWorks dance workshops with the at risk youth,  one dancer decided to continue to do child development classes so she could become a teacher, own her day care, and become one the examples to the youth of today.


3) One is continuing dance education at the hottest dance technical school in the area


4) The one dancer whom was fighting all year to earn her spot into the professional dance world, did it full out. Now on board with Charleston, SC Ms. Queen.  She will be flying all over the place doing what she does, Dance.


I started this company one year ago and the growth is just amazing.  When I look back on this year, I say thank you God.  Thank you for making my dream come true.  Everyone is asking what is next for MufukaWorks Dance Company.  My answer: lets wait on the Lord because my goodness if he did all of this in one year. Can you imagine what he has in store for MufukaWorks Dance Company next?


Always MufukaWorks
