June 22, 2026Kruccus International was awesome! They arrived on time, ready to perform, and brought such positive energy to our event. Their team was engaging, accommodating, and did a wonderful job encouraging crowd participation. There were smiling faces all around, and everyone had so much fun. So many people have commented about how good they were. We truly enjoyed their performance and would definitely invite them back again.

November 4, 2024The Kruccus team was absolutely amazing! They had our guests fully entertained, and everyone kept talking about how wonderful their performance was. The team engaged the audience in African songs, taught dances to those who wanted to participate, and even incorporated proverbs and stories into their performance. Their drummers and dancers are so talented, and the entire troop was a joy to watch.

Whether we are performing Traditional African dance and music or Caribbean culture, an audience member can expect to be transported to Africa or the Caribbean through our performances. He or she will leave the performance having a little more knowledge and appreciation for the culture, the people and the region.
Kruccus International is a performing and visual arts company, dedicated to the preservation and presentation of Traditional African and Caribbean culture through the mediums of dance, music, song and theater. We also have a component of the company that specialize in the production of custom-made drums, costumes and crafts. Kruccus International performs at all kinds of events, including weddings, parties, ceremonies, birthdays, graduations, festivals, school assemblies and more. We also provide lecture demonstrations, and workshops in dance and (or) drum. Our performances are usually accompanied by live drum music and authentic costumes from Africa, the Caribbean, North America and other places. The company is made up of dynamic and professional artists who are highly accomplished in their field, and who have many years of experience.Our performances are highly energetic, electrifying, engaging, educational and can be adapted to suit any type of audience. In keeping with our desire to not only entertain but educate, we like to design our performances so as to include "Audience Participation"where we engage the audience in a style of performing called "call and response." In this way, people in the audience are not just sitting there as observers, but become part of the performance.
Our requirements are a wooden floor, preferably, folding chairs for the musicians, a microphone, a stage/auditorium if available, gym or open space.
