Viv Ncaus Dance Troop
Viv Ncaus Dance Troupe was founded in 2007 by the dancers of Ntsais Plia in Madison, WI. Our mission is to end gender based violence by building sisterhood that will challenge patriarchy, homophobia, racism, and classism through the use of Hmong arts. We believe that is it a necessity for us to document our stories and the stories of all the women who have come before us, and we do so by creating Hmong dances.
