Magnifique danse du ZAOULI de la Côte d'Ivoir

[@bluewood93mma]

I cannot imagine the amount of stamina and leg strength this must take. Absolutely mesmerizing

[@reece1929]

I just keep saying "wow!" This gentleman is literally gliding across dirt. No special shoes or floor needed. The stamina and body control is hypnotic. He's amazing!

[@roshawonpruitt7810]

Out of all the dancers, he’s the one that’s the most mesmerizing. They’re all great though!❤️

I've seen a few of these and his dance is the best I've seen. I'm just taking it all in and acknowledging the fact it's hot his costume is probably heavy he barefoot and in the dirt and he gliding across it so smoothly. His foot work is amazing

[@bigjtaxitalk6188]

[@Tigerroux]

This dancer is unreal. Great showmanship - love to watch him! Drum/flute band is fun to hear them keep timing to his unique steps. That’s not easy either. I hope they can do an hour documentary on all the different dancers, their personal lives, how they practice, the costume designers and their meanings, the mask artists making them, the band people and how they practice with the dancers. Also want to know what some of the pre-dance chants are about. I want to know everything about it. I want to know what the children think of this entertainment too! It would make a wonderful documentary.

[@Work4Love3000]

It looked like he was having a bad day. He wasn't moving to the music rhythm and did a lot of left/right steps until the last minute. Then his flow kicked in and it was like wow! Awesome! But as I learn more, perhaps the dance steps for his mask are different than what I've seen before. Still awesome tho.
