Fatoumata might be small in size, but she has a huge personality.
Fatoumata is a little student in physical size, but she has a huge personality. She has never been to school because of extreme poverty and only gets to eat food once a day. Despite these challenges, she is a leader in her class, very independent and hard working. She sets the tone of the class, especially in diagonal (you can see her demonstrating the diagonal in the photo above). Her favorite dance exercise is in diagonal: “2 tendus, 2 jetes, 2 battements”. In addition to the dance classes at MindLeaps, she also loves learning English. Her dream for the future is to become a tailor one day.
