The Kukatonon Children’s African Dance Troupe presents its annual benefit on Saturday, Feb. 4 at
the Madeleine Parish Hall, 3123 N.E. 24th Ave.
African Dance Troupe Benefit
For over 32 years, the Kuka-
tonon Children’s African Dance
Troupe has provided tuition-free,
after school classes for 2nd to 8th
graders in Portland, teaching Af-
rican dance, African drumming,
and ballet. On Saturday, Feb. 4,
the organization will host its an-
nual fundraising gala, a special
night to celebrate African cul-
ture, and support a program that
is providing life-changing educa-
tion and experiences to Portland
youth.
Let yourself be energized with
the upbeat drumming and dance
performances by the children. A
traditional African meal will also
be served and there will be the
chance to win prizes when raising
your paddle for this cultural af-
ter-school program.
The benefit will be held from 6
p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Madeleine
Parish Hall, 3123 N.E. 24th Ave.
