This planet needs more comments like this😭😂

[@achelley]

As an African American who recently found out more about my heritage(my family was from Ghana and Cameroon) I love seeing these videos and embracing more of my culture. I have absolutely fallen in love with Afro Pop and African dances over the last few years. I feel like black Americans are at such a disadvantage by having our heritage stripped away and not knowing where we came from or a thing about our heritage until we start doing research.

[@pilot4910]

Haha Almost as if Africans and African Americans are two completely different race Blacks in the US know nothing about their roots

[@obsidiansea]

0:49 - azonto 1:33/2:56 - shoki 3:52/4:13 - to music 4:42 - shoki followed by a variation (name?) 5:34 - twist 6:27 - alkayida 8:18 - all w/music 9:31 - ? (fling hands and march in place) 10:42 - routine with music 11:36 - freestyle

[@fitelite2405]

I'm Trinidadian and know how to breakdance, do ballet, ballroom, Latin, and now I'm learning this. And this is soooooooo unstructed it's amazing. So free, lax, and the most of all - fun. It's not about getting anything right, and getting upset at yourself that you can't get it right. It's about feeling the music and being true to the African culture and heritage. This is by far my most fun kind of dance style I've ever learned!

[@marissalorraine8700]

One thing I love about all dancers is that we know dance brings people together. It is something felt in the heart and soul and crosses all boundaries. No language, no culture, no color - people who love dance passionately love others who love it too. Thanks for the video! I really wanted to learn about Azonto 😊❤️

[@nizzy7054]

Shaqaya Bambury Same but I am American

[@ChantelStays]

Shaqaya Bambury I am Jamaican roots too..but there is something about african dance that just unearths the very soul. you cannot help but want to move and just give in to the music.

[@aj4104]

Shaqaya Bambury same

[@dancanijustdanceandlaughth329]

Shaqaya Bambury we Africans take the soul of dance and recreate it. I been to clubs in usa, uk and Australia, and when I got on the dance floor everyone thought I was a famous musician and they all take my video. Where am at at the moment we have American soldiers and they think am from usa because of how I Dance. And can Dance to anything from any continent including Chinese lol 😀 with any muscle on my body. But I am just a village girl who used to compete on the streets with boys from the city they didn't take me serious at first and I swore since I was little no one on earth will ever Dance better than me. Every time someone dismissed me I performed better. Now I can make up moves from other people's moves. In Africa especially in the ghettos and slums are very talented children the world is going to be shocked when we come out. GOD BLESS AFRICA .PROSPERITY LOVE, GOOD HEALTH AND PEACE TO ALL OUR PEOPLE.

Look...i don't know where these young men originate from...but the only thing i care about is that they can dance...and i personally think that they are excellent dancers. That's it..that's all...I don't know if they are Nigerian or from Ghana...but i would think they are from Ghana given the fact that they have named themselves Ghanaboyz. I like the way they move their bodies..period..no more..no less.

[@honorthelegend1]

I think this is great, I have fallen completely in love with the African dance and music. Being a black American (per say) not sure if that is right to use. We have been at a disadvantage by not embracing what is truly within us!

[@amandaokafor2305]

Title of video is "How to dance Azonto, Shoki & Commercial African Dances (BM - Ebebi Music)" Keyword here is commerical African. Nowhere did it say Nigerian/ Ghanaian dance styles only. Yes most of mainstream African dances are pretty much Ndombolo and Makossa, but most of the moves during the freestyle were a mix of Pantsula from South Africa and Kuduro from Angola. Just chill out and celebrate that African dance styles are being put on the map period!
