Beautifully done! So well choreographed dancing with the drumming. Is the dance teacher you the person who is encouraging everyone with your happy voice?

Having a children dance conference is such a great idea because many times they get lost or looked over for more veteran dancers at African dance conferences.. This should idea should be copied in our dance communities across the diaspora That dude in brown dress though is confusing. get on a pair of men dance apparel.

The African drum is such a spiritual instrument! It relaxes me every time I listen to it. If I'm having trouble sleeping and I play a video of it, it puts me to sleep 😊 The vibrations and sounds it produces are powerful!💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

When the girls dance, they look like they weighed nothing and were dancing on a floor with springs... when in fact they have springs in themselves... powered by the love of music and dance. Beautiful and artistic.

@@ToddjaEunique I am a Black-American woman who took West African dance in 1979 when I was 12yrs old and remember being taught the dances my ancestors did back Africa. During the 1970s Blacks in America were more knowledgeable about their African roots and walked very proudly about it. I always knew we were Negros. When I hear the drums they take over my body and I surrender.

It's West African Dance, in general, from the Mali Empire, before it was colonized/ split into countries. However, this dance is from the Balanta people now found in countries colonized to be called Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Senegal, and The Gambia.
