History of Choir

VOICE DANCE CHORALE is an ensemble formed by men and women from Limpopo Province, South Africa whose purpose is to actively participate in community building through singing, service and development. We SING to provide singers and audience with an opportunity to enjoy a sound quality of choral music, promote healthy singing, promote culture, raise funds for humanity, send message of self-awareness, send message of social and health well-being, and promote the spirit of Ubuntu(humanity and brotherhood). We provide SERVICE to human development areas such as training new singing voices, vounteering in hospital patient-care, partnershipping with local law enforcement, collaborating with local community leadership, lending a hand in orphanages and community-builiding projects, and promote education by working with Schools' educators and learners. We promote DEVELOPMENT through rallying experts in their fields to educate the community through rallies, public address and service projects. Our projects include: "Tend my Lambs", "Tells the Chidlren I love them", "...and the Magic number is One", to name but a few(see full description and purpose below). These experiences will be shared with peers within Limpopo Province, within the Country, and Internationally.

Hints of healthy singing

While listening, ask:
* Can I dance to the music and feel the rhythm?
* Do any particular voices stick out?
* Can I understand the text and emotion of what we're singing?
* Is our tempo appropriate and steady?
* Are there any noticeable pitch, rhythm, or intonation problems?
* Do we sing with a mature, disciplined, balanced sound at all times?
* If I were an audience member, what would I remember most about this
performance?
