Amazing Sabar dance workshop with Khadim Thiam at our 5th Festival LAMB DAJ DANSE that took in January 2020. The rhythm is "yangam" in case some of you sabar students would like to know this rhythm better. The movements are very typical for yangam!
The goal of the festival organized by Sab'ART is to educate and inspire young senegalese dancers to professionalize themselves and pursue their dance dreams as well as sensitize the public in Senegal so they understand that there is a professional and artistic form of Sabar and a cultural form of Sabar (Ada). While you may think that this is a common idea in Senegal, we must disappoint you. Artistic Sabar is more known outside Senegal, than inside Senegal. Every day dancers in Senegal fight for respect, for education and to make a living.
A lot of dance events in Senegal cater to foreigners visiting or living in Senegal, but few cater to the Senegalese youth and put them at the center of the event - even though they are the future! In our festival everyone are welcome, but senegalese youth comes first.
In the end of the video Khadim Thiam salute Mbaye Art for his work with this festival that he's been doing each year since 2016. He encourages everyone to support Festival Lamb Daj Danse and help make sure it will continue to take place every year. We have paid the festival from our own pockets every year, which is a lot.
If you would like to join the Sab'ART team and contribute to make this festival happen every year, then we would like to hear from you. It can be everything from editing videos, doing social media, writing applications for funding, doing a fundraising event, bring your friends or students to the festival etc.
Each year the festival grows and we're now receiving requests from other African dance artists to participate and we really hope we will eventually have the team necessary to welcome these artists in Senegal. We need all the support we can get
If you read until here, THANK YOU From the bottom of my heart.
