As a mixed race African American it makes me really happy to see such a diverse group of dancers all coming together to perform this beautiful dance! They all did so well and they looked like they had fun too!
African girl at the front was a natural.They aIl made a great effort but she was a standout both in her natural interpretation of the moves and the joy on her face from dancing. It's nice to see people of different cultures take a interest in other cultures.They should make an African dance "Zumba style" workout out of these moves!
I don't know why, but this brought me to tears. I haven't cried for a long while and I was just watching this video in the background, but when they started singing, it was as if they was declaring "I am here" as if the people that came before us and the skills and gifts they have are being passed on and valued. Its beautiful.
Thank you so much we at Ralph J Bunche Elementary School on this week 27, we are having a School Wide Black History Program an the dance kids we are doing West African Dance and you taught us how to be are self and be natural and thank you for the last time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This dance looks really fun! We all are mixed now and share each other’s cultures... I don’t mind.. plus we all have the freedom to learn whatever we want so we might as well take full advantage ... with ❤️
Everyone did it terrific, but I couldn't avoid overwatching the guy with the blue and red striped kaftan; at the middle of the dance he looks like as if he got "on fire" and started to dance more self-confident and even the girl at his left looked at him and smile with him. He -and of course the whole group- really enjoyed it. There's no other way!! Nice!! :D
i love my black honey coated skin, i wouldn't trade it for the world, even with our new president we need to keep the black power, i am a lot of things from africa, nigerian,im also from Zimbabwe,etc. i am learning this dance first because of black history month is coming and because i want to know more from where i come from
Lauryn Saucier Very well said, always keep your culture alive. Us Natives try to keep our culture alive by telling our children, grandchildren and so on. Stay strong no matter who is in the White House. 😊
How sad about an African or any other culture not wanting to share. I’m n old white English great grandma n one thing I’ve learned. Music, dance n arts are the international language of love. Please do share it brings people together. Do remember as I do a saying my old mum used to say, two wrongs do not make a right. Big hug from your pinky, white sister. Now share n enjoy and appreciate, I do. We’re all the same colour in the crematorium.xxxxxxx
Because every culture that has shared with your kind ends up robbed or killed 🙄 and how privileged you have to be to say “two wrongs don’t make a right” implying we should except all y’all “wrongs”
You can't tell the authentic African dancer especially with the choreography at 1:10. The others look like they're twerking while she's just moving in a tribal way.
Nice performance, the beat was on point. I like when a woman can dance to the rhythm of a beat. Despite it being a group dance, u can see her uniqueness.
So basically, my high school is performing an Around the World show to respect all the countries' forms of dance. I was tasked with African and I am so grateful for this dance! This looks absolutely beautiful and I cannot wait for the crowd to see this!
When you take a little bit of culture from each country, you become a global citizen. This is beautiful to see and this opens minds and hearts. Peace and love
amazing chereogeraphy……I thimk every body made a great effort and it came out really beautifully amazing to see different cultures coming and having funa and DANCING!!!!!!I just keep watching this video and I have showed almost all of my friends....this is the REAL DANCE...….my conclusion is that the whole thing was done awesomelly
Amarisa da Silva The rhythm's name is Sinte. I've been trying to find it on internet but it has been very hard. Nothing as good as live percussion 😖. Greetings from Colombia :)
The men killed it and the 2 women at the front did well the one in the left hand corner and left center and right corner they did very well! They had those curves that really brought out the moves! Who said white people can dance because they sure can!! Dance is learnt and your colour doesn't determine your ability to learn!
So fun, but the woman on the left front really stood out!! She was amazing, so smooth! - She should be a pro! Beautiful! Beautiful! Now where's the men's group!😊
IT WORKS! xD xD *whew!* watched it at half- and quarter-speed several times before trying at normal speed. still not quite got it but owwwwch my body, in the best way!
They are not dancing to the rhythm. They are just moving..choreographed dance versus spirit. West African dance has meaning. Drumming has meaning and feeling.
Hi,i am from Taiwan,i love djembe and teach djembe.i like this song you sing in this viedo，Could you let me know what is the meaning of this song "weiyala ye ye weiyala ",,,,Hope to hear the answer soon,and I really love this dance , very happy and very attractive!
I might do a little bit of this tomorrow get to move and you know get my blood flow yes indeed that's what I mean about step on it, light on your feet. 😊👋🏼
Bravo.....nosotros tambien somos descendientes de africanos y cuanto llevamos haxua adelante la cultura africana..cuanto nis gusta..son bailes que invitan a cualquiera jajjaja
Dark skinned girl in the front in the blue stripes is GORGEOUS and an amazing dancer. And they all look like they're having fun! Great job to all.
Yassssss, she was AMAZING, I tried BUT my eye couldn't stop watching her!! Bravo all!❤❤❤❤❤💃❤❤❤❤❤
She makes it look easy. I also like the guy with stripes behind her. He's really into it.
Came here to say exactly that. Mesmerizing smile and beautiful dancer! Couldn't take my eyes off her.
I do feel bad for the girl on the far left who was chopped out of the frame :(
Name of the song. Somebody know?????

Lol ~ don't know: Yes, she is a GREAT dancer! The fellow to her immediate right/back found his groove around 01:10!!
The others came to learn. Whats the problem?
@@HisHemDanceMinistry no he looked awful the whole way through
@@KB-danceordie nobody said there was a problem whitey

Yes sis you awakened the ancestors with your moves!!
What are you even talking about? The fact that you’re making a joke about that when this dance has nothing to with them …
Yamoussa Camara is a wonderful, talented and inspiring teacher.
Everyone did it terrific, but I couldn't avoid overwatching the guy with the blue and red striped kaftan; at the middle of the dance he looks like as if he got "on fire" and started to dance more self-confident and even the girl at his left looked at him and smile with him.

Amen
I wondering if anyone else noticed him
Voilà ce que j'appelle de la VRAIE danse africaine ! Aux percussions et rien d'autre ! Merci
Bravo
I love this dance!!!! I am totally going to do it for one of my ministers 70th birthday celebration. Thanks guys!!! God Bless.

Yass queen! I finally found another Nigerian sister! 🇳🇬
@Arianna Franco you your daddy's son
They all did an amazing job!!! Wow, am blown away.
I love this dance! Happy to say I learned it in my native Bay Area, Oakland, CA!
Awesome!!!! Black girl in front is really good and everyone looks to be having soooo much fun!!

Your comment is weird. Isn't this video showing the sharing of a culture. Do you see only one race here? 🥴
I love this dance.❤️
My friends and I want to use this for our cultural performance in few weeks.
How can I find the original music or is this live music ?
Very inspiring, great rhythms, fantastic dancers. I want to go to a class too. It should become very popular NOW!!!!!!! Please.
You can't tell the authentic African dancer especially with the choreography at 1:10. The others look like they're twerking while she's just moving in a tribal way.
Can we please have a tutorial!!! This is amazing, love from India.

Africa is not a country.
@@taylargriffith7231 Yeah, I just had to change it to a country in Africa. That's my bad 😓
Did you find the original music?
I was not, however I was able to find a substitute. @@aileenbluhm4986
african dances are rich in joy and life. love them
When you take a little bit of culture from each country, you become a global citizen. This is beautiful to see and this opens minds and hearts. Peace and love
Absolutely loved it ❤ 💯 Love seeing different races respect and learn each other's cultures!
I love this song and I love the bits with the dance

Shout out to the two dudes! They we’re giving it their all too!
Dance is really universal.
Beautiful and I love the music. I need to find a class near me to try this.
Why was I staring at the black girl during the whole performance? lol They all did a great job! Dope asf!
This is absolutely beautiful!
Proud of my African’s heritage 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Could you please tell more about the music?

Good workout! This must take a lot of energy.

Who said white people can dance because they sure can!! Dance is learnt and your colour doesn't determine your ability to learn!
They all did amazing and looked like they had fun.
The Guy had some proper African Rythm...I judged unfairly at first...There all good. Teacher must be brilliant.
Incredible! I'd love to dance like that!
I’m from West Africa. Monrovia Liberia 🇱🇷
