Meet the young Ugandan dance group taking the world by storm

Dancing is a universal language; it inspires people of all ages and backgrounds. The power of dance can bring love and encouragement to communities, creating a better and livelier world.

TGK is a dance group and NGO based in Kampala, Uganda. Kavuma Dauda founded it with the sole mission of providing housing, health care, food, and education for disadvantaged children.

"The mission is making lives better through dance. That's our goal. We are helping disadvantaged children, orphans and street kids. We use dance to make their lives better," Kavuma tells Scenes. "When you dance, you forget that you didn't eat. When you dance, you forget that you have lost someone. You forget everything. You focus on dance," he says.

Kavuma uses dance to encourage children to enjoy themselves, but his main goal is to provide them with an education so they will have a better future. A stranger funded his education when he was a young boy and couldn't afford to go to school. He made a vow to himself that if he were ever in a position to help others, he would, as a sign of gratitude to his stranger.

Kavuma's own story could be that of any of the children he mentors. His father passed away when he was very young, and his family struggled to make ends meet. They couldn't afford to pay school fees, so he spent his time playing football in the streets. That's when a school football coach noticed Kavuma playing in the street and offered him a chance at a better life.

"He told me if I give you a chance, would you go back to school? I said, yes, that's what I really want. So, from that day, I promised myself that when I grew up, at least I would help one child," Kavuma says.

Many of the kids in the dance group identify with trauma and poverty. Triplets
