KanKouran Dance Company

KanKouran, a U.S. based dance company, was founded in Washington, DC in 1983. Our mission is to preserve and promote the performing arts of traditional West Africa by providing quality entertainment and educational programs to local and national audiences in an effort to facilitate cross-cultural enrichment and develop audience appreciation for the rich artistry of African dance. KanKouran offers weekly dance classes for children, teens and adults in the authentic dance and drumming styles of select West African cultural groups. Classes provide a fun, energetic, aerobic activity that connects movements to rhythm through live drums. Come and join us. We look forward to seeing you on the dance floor!!!
