Most members of this Yaounde based traditional dance group are orphans

The "Ballet Bantou" traditional dance group, headed by Monebiang Jacqueline brings together essentially orphans who depend on it for a living. The eleven female dancers eight of whom are orphans are drawn from the Centre and West Provinces have no other occupation than dancing. The older ones even go further to dance with musicians in night clubs, Monebiang Jacqueline said.
