  • A group of young dancers from Bi-Okoto's Okoto Kekere (Pre-professional group) performing outdoors at Washington Park, during the World Drum Festival in Cincinnati, Ohio, on July 21, 2024. The children are dressed in colorful outfits with floral-patterned skirts, black tops, and matching headwraps. Each holds a blue and white fly whisk, used as a traditional African dance prop. They are mid-movement, showcasing synchronized, rhythmic dance steps. The performance takes place on a stage with a black backdrop and trees in the background, while drummers seated behind them play traditional African drums.
