From Friday 24 January to Friday 31 January, 2025
Shtah Dakhla festival is a platform highlighting the meeting of African people and the cultural diversity of Africa. Dakhla is known as the capital of surfing and kiting. We invite you to discover this beautiful city from another angle through the art of dance and cultural diversity. At the gates of the Sahara, come and live a unique experience, dance and discover all the power of African culture.
This learning will take place around four different dances, focused on joy, rejoicing and sorority:
1. TEMATE
Initiatory dance practiced in the west of Ivory Coast for celebrations
2. COUCOU
This dance from Mali practiced for weddings sets the whole body in motion through the mobility of the hands and legs.
3. SOSONIN
Guinea dance which puts a lot of strain on the pelvis, hips and legs in a jerky manner.
4. ZOUHA
Dance practiced by moonlight in the west of Ivory Coast. Women practice it together for fun.
OUR CONTRIBUTORS
Bra Bossebo
Dancer, performer, choreographer, of Ivorian origin. He is a defector from the national ballet of Côte d’Ivoire with whom he participated in several festivals and cultural and artistic events in Africa. Bossebo is today in Morocco, in Dakhla, to share his experience and transmit the enriching energy of the art of African dance. “In the beginning was movement” is his philosophy of the art of dance. This festival-internship in Dakhla is his lifelong dream. The idea of creating harmony between the Moroccan people and sub-Saharan Africa through dance and sharing this energy is his dearest wish!
The musicians
The wonderful musicians who accompany Bossebo are also defectors from the National Ballet of Côte d’Ivoire. They specialize in the atypical percussion of African music and dances. Their music perfectly accompanies the dances choreographed by Bossebo. Their collaboration dating back several years, their complicity creates magical moments of dance and music.
