This is another Dansa demonstration performed by Mba Coulibaly in January, 2010. Compare it to the footage also carried on this site of Mba freestyling Dansa in January 2006-07 during a dance class break. In both performances, Mba is a model of grace, mastery and improvisation while performing this age-old popular dance of Mali. She strikes a beautiful balance between control and flow here and generally as an dance artist in the Malian tradition. Djelimakan Diabate plays djembe. Jaffro Dembele plays djun-djun.
