Mbolé & Party: Francophone Dance Party

Step into elegance. Step into culture. Step into La Sape.

Join us on Saturday December 6th, as PULSE presents Mbólé & Party — Episode 5: La Sape, Raleigh’s first-ever Francophone dance party inspired by the legendary Congo Dandies and the global Sapeur movement.
