Dance is an intricate thread in the web of culture. Each
country or geographic region has a dance that is dedicated to the social
culture. African dance is one of those dances. The energetic, expressive movement
of the body conveys the dancer’s emotion. It captures the heart of the audience
and embeds the message via the percussion of the costume and the beat of the
drums. The gyration of the hips, rhythmic stomping clapping and chanting adds
to the excitement and enchantment of the dances. It is amazing how a dance is
incorporated in the tribal hunting rituals, funeral processions, religious
rites of passage and celebrations. It is more than just a dance. It is a part
of life.
Ballet On Wheels offers a class that gets to the root of
things and teaches students how to embody the culture and embrace the elaborate
movement. By the end of the class, it would feel as you have stepped into a
