Wacheva Cultural Arts dance group consists of many dancers and drummers based in Syracuse, NYS, and USA.

Our performances and team-building exercises are also ideal for:

• Churches
• Nonprofits
• Community groups
• K- to universities
• Businesses (e.g., staff retreats)
• Athletic and creative arts organizations seeking cross-training opportunities

The group performs with local dancers at various Schools, from K-12 colleges, Universities, and other organizations events, and offers all types of African dancing, drumming, and song performances.

The group can provide highly dynamic, energic and multifaceted traditional performances that include professional African’s performers living here in USA.

Our performance concludes with an invitation and demonstration for the audience to dance and experience some of our movements.

For school groups students will have time to ask questions to the performers.

Biboti Ouikahilo artistic director and the group exude the joy and human Spirit one might imagine seeing in a celebration in his native Ivory Coast and Africa.

Comment from a Teacher:

“Biboti Ouikahilo and the Wacheva Dance Company provided the students (and staff) of our school with an engaging and educational performance… Students were mesmerized by the high-energy music of Biboti and his fellow musicians. The African dancing demonstrated by Biboti, and members of the Wacheva Dance Company exuded the joy and human spirit one might imagine seeing in a celebration in his native Ivory Coast… The cultural context of various songs and dances were shared with the audience and provided students with a basic understanding of how music and dance played an integral part of African society… A month later students are still happily recalling the performance. Thank you for a wonderful and unique show!” – Teacher at Onondaga Middle School
