August 23, 2011 – “SHAKE THAT SIN” explores the 7 capital vices: the lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and
pride with 7 female dancers who will each introduce one of the sins with a touch of humor.
Her inspirations? Well, she found them in the recent headlines. How not to draw a parallel between Tiger Woods
and Lust, the Arab Spring and Wrath, the debacle over the election in Ivory Coast and Pride? She is dealing with
deep society issues giving us a female perspective, using female’s assets and dancers representing Women with
different bodies, ethnicities and social backgrounds.
This performance will excite you so much that you’ll want to take Maïmouna’s Booty Therapy workshops to
express yourself and deliver one message: Shake your booty to assert yourself!
Maïmouna Coulibaly is a dancer, choreographer, writer and director, based in Paris France specializing in
contemporary African and Caribbean dance. She is the founder of "Les Ambianceuses", a dance company whose
repertoire covers popular dance styles such as Ragga Dancehall, the Congolese movement style N’dombolo and
Coupé Décalé, a dance that originated in the Ivory Coast's night clubs, just to name a few.
In the fall of 2009, the Bay Area welcomed for the first time Maïmouna Coulibaly and her play “Hééé Mariamou”,
which encountered a great success and got reviewed in the prestigious Dance Review and The San Francisco
Chronicle. She is coming back in October 2011 with “SHAKE THAT SIN” a new dance-only performance,
choreographed by herself and her dance company: “Les Ambianceuses”.
This time, not only did she incorporate Urban African dances, but she also reached out to other styles like Belly
dancing, Modern-Jazz, Burlesque, Samba, Traditional African dances, Haka (from the South Pacific Islander).
Because she is always growing, looking, learning, discovering you will also see some Voguing, Kizomba, Funana,
etc. You name it, she has it and you know she’ll deliver!
