About The Story

Khuzwayo is preparing to perform the Ingoma, a traditional Zulu victory dance. It’s a matter of pride to be chosen for the performance—but just before he has to leave, fear sets in. He’s frozen. His friends rally around him and encourage him to go ahead. Their support gives him the courage to take the plunge—and as he stomps, leaps, and dances, his fear melts into joy. Set in rural Malawi, this story is a celebration of cultural heritage, the strength found in community, and the bravery it takes to overcome stage fright.
