Wacheva Cultural Arts (website) PO Box 6198 Syracuse, NY 13217 Ph: 315-247-6861

Wacheva believes in the creative and educational development of youth and families by implementing Arts from around the world. The word “Wacheva” means “Unity.” This word is more than just our name, but a simple expression of our core belief in nurturing the youth and building community. Teaching African dance and drum in the schools provides students with an incredible multicultural experience. Learning about African culture through interactive lessons has a profound affect on students. To teach them about culture involves more than dance steps, drum rhythms and body movements. It's an opportunity to educate them about another culture in the world.
