MATONDO-NYC!

Thanks again to those who actually came out to support my first class in NYC, those who forwarded the email, passed the word, observed, inquired, wanted to attend but couldn't, and those who were there in spirit. You are appreciated. I enjoyed myself and I feel like everyone did too. Let's keep this going by spreading the good word, coming back with your friends, and enjoying ourselves again. It can only get better so let's make it happen! Thanks again for supporting me and CONGOLESE dance. Much love to NYC!

Cultural Arts of Gold, the organization that brought you the Congolese Dance and Drum Festival presents an encore of one of its master artists -

BIZA SOMPA


Come and experience extraordinary, electrifying, Congolese dance instructor, performer, and choreographer, as he always brings something unique to the dance floor. Biza is my teacher and I'm always amazed by what he has to offer. He is the Director and Founder of Bichini Bia Congo Dance Theater and currently resides and teaches in Ann Arbor, MI. You can read more about Biza at http://www.bichinibiacongo.com

For those who missed his N. California Tour in the summer, this is another quick opportunity to experience one of the best at his craft. Those of you who attended the tour know what a treat dancing with Biza Sompa was. So, come on back and bring a friend or two. Please spread the word!!!!!!!

He'll be back if you missed him! If you did make it out please be sure to update those that missed out so that they can catch him next time. Special Thanks to Muisi-kongo for the collaborative work on behalf of the Fua Dia Congo/Congolese Dance and Drum Workshop, as well as Leslie C, Alseny, Asia, Elizabeth, Cai, and Kris for hosting the workshops in their studio space, we couldn't have done it without you!
