Olney Theatre Center’s suite of summer programming continues strong with Dance Around the World, a two-part series that features dance troupes with traditions from across the globe. The first part of the series alone included acts that represent “over one third of the world’s population,” as explained by Kevin Mcallister, director of curated programs at Olney, in his intro to the performances. What followed was an inviting and interactive evening of dance and storytelling. The show got off to a very strong start with Kankouran West African Dance Co., a D.C.-based outfit founded by Assane Konte, who introduced the troupe and provided educational interludes throughout, in addition to performing himself. “We preserve our history through music and dance,” said Konte, explaining that this kind of performance helps to tell an authentic story of West African cultures.
