Dancing Like Home is a personal documentary exploring the realities of going back 'home' to Africa. Director Joyce Guy, whose love for African dance sets her in pursuit to find the meanings of the traditional dances of Casamance, Senegal but once there her expectations of this culturally rich region are challenged. With Malang Bayo, a former member of the National Ballet of Senegal, born and raised in Casamance, they travel 'home' to distinct villages of varying sizes, tribes and leadership. What is revealed is the depths that dance is embedded in their language of expression, whether it is communicating the birthing of children, the passing of elders, or the mediation of conflicts between people and villages.
