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.

In California, anyone over 65 years old can now receive a coronavirus vaccine. But L.A. County has far from enough doses for everyone who is eligible. That s because the county prioritizes those people getting second doses, so fewer people are receiving their first-round injection.
But scheduling a second dose has also proven to be complicated.
THE MATH BEHIND THE DOSES
L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said Wednesday that her department needs four million doses to vaccinate every resident currently eligible. Instead, the county has received less than 900,000 so far. This is what I mean by a serious supply problem, Ferrer told reporters. We just are not receiving enough vaccine doses to move as quickly as we, and you, would like us to.
