Djibril Camara is from the Baga people, originally from Boke, Guinea in
West Africa and spent his childhood dancing.  He began his formal
training at the National School In Guinea�s capital, Conakry.  Djibril
was a principal dancer and choreographer for the international touring
company Ballet du Afrique Noir of Senegal, as well as Troupe Federale
Conakry and Ballet Bougarabou  for 17 years,  traversing Europe and
Africa.  Eventually his talent brought him to the U.S. for Ballet du
Afrique�s presentation of the Mandika Epic on notable stages, such as
NY City's Kennedy Center.  For the last five years he has shared the
love of his culture and high energy traditional dance across the US,
choreographing, teaching and performing.  He has a special ability to
teach beginners and experienced dancers side by side, with a gracious
heart and a welcoming smile.
