About Mohamed:
Guinean Master Dancer Mohamed Andre Duranteau began to pursue his dream of being a performing artist at the young age of 15 when he moved to the capitol of Guinea, Conakry to join his first ballet, "L'Ensemble Instrumentale de Kakimbo". Here, Mohamed developed his skills as a singer, drummer and dancer, travelling and performing around the country until 1996 when he moved on to join the award winning group, “Ballet Taille.” Mohamed worked as lead dancer for this group for 10 years, under the direction of Mamadouba Camara, former lead soloist for “Ballet Djoliba” and “Les Ballets Africains."Mohamed was also a lead dancer and stage director for “Ballet Kali” and a dancer in “Ballet Aklusso de Grand Bassam” a unique and Afro-Contemporary style ballet from the Ivory Coast. Mohamed moved to Victoria, BC, in Canada in 2007 and since then has created a successful drum & dance school and performance troupe called “Wontanara Drum & Dance.” (www.wontanaradrumdance.ca) Mohamed now teaches and performs throughout BC and has become a respected and popular performing artist in his Guinean and Canadian community, both young and old. This is Mohamed's 3rd time teaching in Nova Scotia and he is looking forward to connecting with the East Coast drum and dance community again!
