Lacina Coulibaly, from Burkina Faso, has trained and performed in both traditional African dance (as a member of Kongo Bâ) and contemporary modern dance (with Lassann Congo, one of the most well-known African choreographers). In 1995, Lacina created the Cie Kongo Ba Teria with Souleymane Badolo and Ousseni Sako. Their creations, Frères sans stèles (1999), Vin Nem (2001) and Hydou Bye (2004) toured around the world and won international awards. In addition, Lacina has danced and choreographed with other international dance companies including Faso danse theatre. He has dedicated his last three years to teaching African dance at American universities including Yale and Brown University.
