KaZimba in practice is seen as a dynamic, often acrobatic visual display of coordination, balance and serious intention. The Key to our Art Form is the aim of oneness between mind and movement and amongst all participants, regardless of culture, age, sex, religion. Underlying all that we do, is the essence of Afrika in the sense of ’A-Free-KA (Spirit) a connectedness to nature and her wildlife and of a zest for Life itself.

Students are taught to focus on Manyamas (animal movements) and the essence of the five elements: water; earth; air; fire; ether (spirit) and to use this to further enhance their individual expression. Teaching combines self-discipline with the wisdom of our ancestors the Rhythms – Movement - Poetry – Songs - and Stories at the heart of KaZimba Ngoma that have been passed on and retold by the Mwalimu (Master Teachers) and up to this day by the current Ndugu.
