IN SHORT
The tenth of sixteen children, Bacome Niamba from Adobo overcame adversity to become, guided by an unwavering faith in herself and a passion for dance, one of the most prominent choreographers in Africa. She is not just a dancer but a coach, actress, singer, teacher – and never stops following developments and new ideas. Her body is how she speaks her personal language, with its movements modulating the impulses of a heart beating with energy.
