"When we say ‘traditional’ we mean that it’s based on a strong cultural background and in history, but traditional African dance is in fact contemporary. It’s rooted in improvisation. It’s constantly evolving.” —Lua Shayenne Dance Company #QOTD Toronto Star thestar.com/entertainment/…

.Lua Shayenne Dance Company is donning the hat of producer/curator to launch a festival that celebrates Black women dancers. Shayenne has named it Yensa, drawing on a word that means “let’s dance” from her mother, singer Ranzie Mensah’s West African Fanti heritage. thestar.com/entertainment/…
