Traditional Liberian Dance
Music and dance are an integral part of village life in Liberia. The people
dance and sing for the departed souls of the dead, at celebrations and
weddings, on behalf of important visitors, and just for fun. Liberian dances
are often noted for the energy and passion displayed by the dancers. As with
most African dance forms, Liberian dances often reference not just the
physical, but the spiritual as well. These dances are a way to preserve and
transmit important stories and traditions.
Dance styles vary according to different tribes and region. Some of the best
known forms of Liberian dance include Kru dances, Vai dances, Kpelle dances
and Bassa dances.
Masked Dances of Liberia
In the indigenous groups of Liberia, masks play an important part in
connecting the living with the ancestral spirits and ancient deities. It is
a means by which people strive to gain knowledge and insight into the
future. The dancer "becomes" the mask, thus it is traditionally important
that the human identity is not revealed to the public.

Liberian Dance Company |
Dehcontee Liberian Dance
Company, Inc.
Dehcontee, which means “Everything has a Time,” is an
Oakland-based Liberian dance company which focuses exclusively
on the cultures of the ethnic groups that comprise the nation of
Liberia. Funds will be used to secure assistance from a master
dancer/artist Kasumo Massaquoi from March to May to teach the
dance company new dances, drum rhythms, and longs of the ethnic
groups of Liberia. This mentorship will help Dehcontee in its
goal to maintain the authenticity of the Liberian ethnic
traditions, costumes, drums and songs that the company presents
in public performances.
Paasewe Productions
is an African production and a promotional company founded by
two Liberian artists, Kaikpai, also known as Eric Paasewe , and
Cleo Bryant, now, Cleo Paasewe.
Visiting many countries to share their culture, both artists are
true Ambassadors of Liberian culture and arts. The couple has
been in the United States for the past ten years promoting the
unique Liberian cultural art form. Today the Paasewes are taking
their dream for Liberian culture to a higher level by
establishing a promotional company to produce and promote
Liberian artists in and out of the United States and other
artists of Africa.
Paasewe Productions will promote and produce traditional and
contemporary African music, dance, story-telling and comedy. The
company products will be available in audio tapes, CDs , videos,
and books.
