"Afro Contempo, directed by Marcela Diaz, received the biggest ovation of the night with a competition among four players who sat astride wooden boxes, beating out complex rhythms, before rising one by one to show off steps that ranged from a close cousin to African American tap dancing, to a stylized bull fight, to an even closer cousin to West African dance."
