Daily Edition

Wassa is the traditional dance of the Fon people, performed at celebrations, funerals, and festivals across southern Benin. The rhythm starts slow, builds fast, and by the end the dancers are moving so quickly their feet barely touch the ground. Every village has its own variation and every variation is the correct one for the people who dance it.
You observe sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, and Anguilla's native ground lizards in coastal waters. You see that residents commonly keep dogs, cats, and iguanas as pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
