"\;Our aim is to unite the nation!“ This claim is an ambitious one\, particularly when made in South Africa\, a co untry riddled with problems of social segregation. Besides being an ambit ious claim it can be regarded as strikingly peculiar in the context it wa s uttered\, which in this case was the description of what a professional dance company is about. To Dominik Eaton\, dance isn´t among the activit ies that are commonly associated with the solution of serious social issu es. Nonetheless\, when Lwazi told him that the Kangaroo Zulu Dancers aim was to unite the nation\, he didn´t have to ask what was meant. Eaton we lcomed this statement when he heard it. But not only did Lwazis statement made him happy and proud to participate in their noble purpose to unite the nation. He also had no doubt in his mind that they could actually and significantly participate in this colossal venture.

Finding and naming the actual mechanisms and forms that their dances contain\, which can be described and experienced as „uniting people“\, turned out to be the research question Dominik Eaton took upon him to answer.
