Funds will be used to secure assistance from a master dancer/artist Kasumo Massaquoi from March to May to teach the dance company new dances, drum rhythms, and longs of the ethnic groups of Liberia. This mentorship will help Dehcontee in its goal to maintain the authenticity of the Liberian ethnic traditions, costumes, drums and songs that the company presents in public performances.
