Image Description: This image promotes “KanKouran West African Dance Company” and “Dance Place’s 45th Season.” A female dancer in a colorful, patterned outfit with a matching headwrap is captured mid-dance, laughing joyfully with her head tilted back and arm raised. Other dancers, also in traditional attire, are blurred in the background. A large, golden “45” with sparkling accents is overlaid on the right. The top text reads “KanKouran West African Dance Company” in gold. Vertical white text “HOME IS COMING” borders both sides, and “CELEBRATE DANCE PLACE’S 45TH SEASON” is at the bottom in white.
