With religious, social, couples and club dances…. the Bal du Tout-Monde will pay tribute to a variety of Creole dances from the African diaspora and feature numerous group dances. From the major African kingdoms to the Taíno islands – now better known as the Caribbean – and global US megacities, this urban griot will tell the tale of the dances that tie us all together, in this huge and enchanting celebration.
