Program Goals
“Teaching the kids about my art in this country,
for me, is like being the bridge that connects two towns
separated by a treacherous river. As a dancer, drummer
and choreographer, bringing this culture to the kids is
a way to immortalize my culture. My purpose is to share
my ideas with the audience, inviting them to experience
this culture through dance, drum, song, choreography and
more.” – Biboti Ouikahilo

Children are our future...
"Teaching the kids about my art in this country,
for me, is like being the bridge that connects two towns
separated by a treacherous river.
In this world, each human being who has gained knowledge
throughout their life should also give back to life. Children
are our future and to teach them about my culture involves
more than the dance steps, drum rhythms and body movements
that I share with them. It's an opportunity for me to
educate them about another culture that is integrated
in the world. Today, through me, the kids can see what
happens in my village and country. So, for me, to be standing
in front of the children, I feel like the bridge between
two towns. Sharing my knowledge with them is like watering
the garden for its survival. It's a way to immortalize
this culture because the human being can pass away, but
the traditions remain alive through the voice of others."
