In Burkina Faso, deaf dancers have a unique way to follow the rhythm and fulfill their dreams

In Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, deaf and non-verbal dancers are using a unique technique to follow the rhythm and fulfill their dreams. Yaya Sanou, a dance tutor and choreographer, created the Vibra-Signe technique to enable them to experience music even without hearing it. The group, called Fientan, performs using vibrations, touch, and visual cues, with dancers feeling the percussion through the floor and communicating through taps, signs, gestures, and facial expressions.
