What a weekend. The 25th Anniversary of Thiossane West African Dance Institute was a powerful celebration of legacy, love, and lineage. From the community concert, We Are the Village to the breathtaking company performance, The Eye Never Forgets What the Heart Has Seen, every moment honored the spirit and rhythm of the African diaspora. Protégés traveled from across the country to pay tribute. Honorees were lifted, stories were remembered, and hearts were full as knowledge was shared and legacies were celebrated. All in honor of our beloved founders, Abdou Kounta and Suzan Bradford Kounta, whose vision has preserved tradition, shaped generations, and kept the village dancing. To everyone who danced, donated, supported, and showed up. Thank you. Your presence made history.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
