@@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.

[@s.clignancourt1897]

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.

[@SidraAdele]

They killed it!!!! I’m just in awe at the talent. They look so free! This is an embodiment of who I wanna be!

[@ToddjaEunique]

Awe thank you! Join a west African dance class near you ❤️

[@drumtheprograminc.3205]

Wow Wow!!! What beautiful energy by the next generation!!!

[@TheLilly]

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!💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TheLilly]

These dances remind me of the primary school dances back in Kenya. I wanted to join the dance club but I was too shy😂 School was lit during these dances🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jeangold8789]

Love it. Is this Ghanaian cultural dance?

[@angelshannon8901]

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.

[@ToddjaEunique]

Thank you❤️🙏🏽
