BC’s Umoja Community Program hosted the Zuzu Acrobats from Tanzania as its final Black History Month event. The dance troupe showed off gravity-defying stunts such as chair balance and the human pyramid – all to East African beats. All members of the troupe have graduated from the internationally known Baba Watoto School for the Performing Arts. Artistic director/acrobat/percussionist Matiga Koba also taught the audience of students, faculty, staff, and community members Swahili words: “Jambo” is hello. Everyone, from children to elders, was amazed by what they saw.
