The Florida African Dance Festival (FADF) is a yearly event that features internationally renowned artists in over 20 workshops and an exciting performance concert.

At this event every year, Mabiba Baegne provides some of the most popular dance classes and performances. This year M'Bayero Louvouezo joins her in choreographing a piece in tribute to the varied geographic regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo. There are 52 distinct ethnic groups in Congo with different rhythms and dances; in this performance we get a sampling of what each region has to offer.

This medley features a war rhythm, healing dances, and a more celebratory dance in which M'Bayero learns- you don't mess with Mabiba!

few years ago two parents went out to dinner.a few hours later,the babysitter was calling to see if she could cover up the clown statue in the kid's room,the father said"Get the kids out of the house,we'll call the police we don't have a clown statue"."the clown statue" was actually a killer that escaped from jail.if you don't post this on 10 videos tonight the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand. sorry don't want this to happen to me
