Founded in 1986 by my father, the choreographer of Les Ballets Africains, Mohamed Kemoko Sano, Ballet Merveilles has toured successfully in West Africa, the United States and Europe. Ballet Merveilles is a dance and percussion ensemble that enhances Guinean traditional dance and music, developing a choreographed, “refined” art form.

We have won many local competitions and are considered one of the foremost private dance companies in the country.
How Would A Laptop Help You?
We will use our laptop to organize our choreography and musical pieces, keep a database of information about our dancers and drummers and create flyers and promote events. We also want to improve our English and computer skills and would love to connect with students and enthusiasts from around the world who are interested in learning about Guinean music and dance.
