Aminata Gueye Arts Dance Company Inc is a NYC based 501(c)(3) organization that amplifies the beauty and global spirit of Senegalese culture through its electrifying traditional dance and music forms! Founded in 2010 by Babacar Mbaye and supported by his Sing Sing family and friends, this organization has poured countless time, energy and boundless spirit into classes, audiences and cultural arts entities around the world for decades!

We are now beginning a strategic uplift in our organizational capacities, beginning with our 2025 Capital Campaign Fundraiser- with a goal of raising $200,000 to help with General Operations of our company and to help with our Annual CTM Traditional Dance and Drum conference- coming up again this May!

We are asking for at least 1,000 of our global followers to hop into this "virtual dance circle" of "AGA Fun-Raisers" with a $200 donation! This will ensure at least $200,000 toward a more developed organizational infrastructure that will allow us to achieve all the goals we have set for 2025 and beyond! Senegales cultural arts is something we live and breathe, and sharing it is our love and passion!

Most people know that Babacar Mbaye has poured his blood, sweat and soul into the Annual CTM Conference for going on 9 years now- but many don't know the amount of money it takes to run a conference! We are taking March and April to bring in our first round of "1,000 Fun-Raisers" from the global family we have created since 1999 and before, to help with this effort! We know that we have countless supporters and we are creating some amazing merchandise and EXCLUSIVE workshop opportunities for those who step up to help us reach this goal!

Please join us in this push to raise our level of offerings and to expand our Global Outreach!

Some new developments for AGA Inc. are: we are working with a new network of other nonprofits in a Workforce Development Initiative in our hometown of Medina, in Dakar, Senegal and we have merged our travel platform to engage with other Global Dance Companies like Les Merveilles d'Afrique to offer an Annual Trip to Senegal that brings so much more than just our love of dancing and drumming! We will be part of a collective service project each year, to help our own Senegalese Youth gain entrepreneurial experience and be able to develop amazing hard and soft skills in Dakar and online! Though our trip this year is already near full capacity, we encourage you keep watching as this annual homecoming to Senegal gets bigger and better each year!

We also have classes around the world, like Japan and other countries who continue to enjoy their love for Sabar Dance & Music traditions; and we will be adding more countries to our Cultural Exchange landscape!

We want to thank you in advance, for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you on the dance floor this year!
