African Dance is making a come back!

*I love all styles of dance so I really loved this article
* The article mainly focued on promoting African dancing. The reporter did a good job with writing a very detailed piece. You can tell the event is going to be very fun.
*I could not pinpoint a challenge that the author faced.

Lanyi West African Dance Company is hosting a similar performance in South Carolina. "The company will perform a dramatic stage presentation of Cato’s Rebellion, which is based on historic events in Charleston. Cato’s Rebellion is one of the first known acts of organized rebellion against slavery in America. The revolt was led by a slave named Cato in September 1739."

*This article was brief but I think it could have had a little more detail. I think the reporter was challegned with the detail of the story
*It was short and breif. The previous article was better!
