Step onto the dance floor — no seats, no expectations, just rhythm, movement, and connection.

Created and directed by Azzam Mohamed with the Katma team, this immersive, all-ages club experience draws from underground party cultures from Sudan to Australia and legendary dance spaces around the world. Developed from its Western Sydney base at PYT Fairfield, the work reflects the inclusivity and energy of the community it was born in. Performed by seven dancers blending street and club styles — from breaking and hip-hop to house and Afro dance — the performance unfolds as a living ritual shaped by music, movement, and the energy in the room.

Designed as a welcoming space for everyone — whether you’re a seasoned clubber or simply curious — Katma invites audiences to witness, move, and feel the pulse of the dancefloor together.
