The dance is part of the "Village People" art exhibition, which opens in the Broad Bay Hall today, which was organised by Portobello artist Nyree Ingle to raise funds for the Kondoa school in Tanzania.
Kondoa is the home village of Broad Bay resident Shukuru Munro, who moved to Dunedin nine years ago with her husband, Neil.
The couple, who have a son, Hamish (8), met when Mr Munro was working as a fisherman in Tanzania.
"He caught me," she said, laughing.
Mrs Munro said going to school in Tanzania was a world away from the education Hamish experienced at Broad Bay School.
"It was very different. People have nothing there. We ran to school in bare feet. We sat on a dirt floor and had to share one book for a class of 20 or 25 children," she said.
"This is very nice. I never would have dreamed it. I feel like I'm here for a reason now."
Money raised at the exhibition would be spent on "desks, paper, pens and books".
"Village People" opens at 7pm today in the Broad Bay Hall and continues until December 7.
Broad Bay School pupils will open the exhibition with an African dance they have been taught by Mrs Munro.
The hall will be open from midday until 6pm daily for the duration.
