We are a South African non-profit organisation that uses African dance to promote healing, cultural pride, and community wellbeing — with a particular focus on cancer patients, youth, and underserved communities.

Dancing Out of Cancer (DOC) is a therapeutic movement programme delivered in healthcare settings. Trained facilitators guide cancer patients and survivors through gentle, adaptive dance sessions designed to reduce anxiety, restore body confidence, and provide emotional support — always in partnership with healthcare professionals.
