BENEFIT SHOW and WORKSHOPS for FATOU N'DIAYE
Saturday, August 5th  8 pm (Show)
Sunday, August 6th 12 noon - 5 pm (Workshops)
Dance Complex, 536 Massachusetts Ave,  Cambridge, MA

Fatou N'Diaye - our elder, our long-time teacher, our friend - needs our help! Fatou injured her shoulder while at home in Senegal. She has undergone surgery and taken time off from her day job and from her dance teaching. Fatou has been a key figure in the West African dance community in Boston, and has been instrumental in keeping it going and supporting new teachers and students in their journeys.

Please come out to enjoy a wonderful evening of dance, drum and song, and help Fatou get back on her feet!
