Our Mission & History
Afrocontigbo’s mission is to promote cultural awareness, unity, and wellness through captivating dance performances, transformative workshops, and community engagement.
Since 2006, we have performed at major festivals, including:
- Flint Hills Festival, MN Fringe Festival, Little Africa, Little Mekong Night Market, Saint Paul Eid Festival, and Igbo Fest.
- Venues like MN State Fairgrounds, Harriet Tubman Center Arts & Movement Initiative, and Juneteenth celebrations in Mankato.
- Cultural events such as Rooted by Maia Productions, Passport to Dance by United Artist Collaborative, and Emume at The Capri.
We offer in-person dance and fitness workshops at venues like:
- Center for Performing Arts, Mall of America, Brooklyn Center Community Center, and Brooklyn Park Activity Center.
Our classes attract a diverse audience from across the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, with approximately 70% representation from people of color.
Owner/Director: Korma Aguh-Stuckmayer
I’m Katúkaókma, aka Korma Aguh-Stuckmayer, a proud Nigerian from the Igbo tribe and the CEO of Afrocontigbo. I believe movement is health, and health is wealth—because who doesn’t want to be rich?
While in college, I joined Dancescape, where I expanded my craft into Jazz, Salsa, Japanese, and contemporary dance. After earning my MBA from St. Mary’s University in 2011, I pursued my dream and founded Afrocontigbo in 2014, blending traditional and modern West African dance styles.
Through movement and rhythm, we foster cultural preservation, self-expression, and community-building. Our team of 8–10 core dancers/creatives performs at festivals, teaches weekly Afrobeats fitness classes, and collaborates with artists—all while keeping the culture alive and thriving.
We love engaging our audience and getting them on the dance floor!
We offer dance classes, performances, and workshops across the Twin Cities.
We welcome collaborations but steer clear of shady vibes. 😆
