The January 2027 presentation brings the two groups together in a series centered on creative exchange, with youth and unity as its focus.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
Coyaba Academy & KanKouran Youth Ensemble come together at Dance Place in Washington, DC, on January 16–17, 2027. The pairing is part of a collaborative series that encourages experimentation and creative risk.
Coyaba Academy’s classes provide background on one half of the pairing. Students encounter the histories and identities of dances from Guinea, Mali and Senegal through song, music and movement, with attention to how music and dance relate to one another.
That class description is background, not a list of works promised for the January presentation. Dance Place has not announced specific pieces or a day-by-day program; for now, the shared focus on youth and unity is the clearest guide to the collaboration.
