I love watching videos of these dancers they look like they're hovering. It's really an incredible feat to dance like this. One of the greatest arts we have today.
The dance I saw for the first time in my life was filled with surprise, shock and joy. I was very happy to find that the Zaouli dance mask is similar to the traditional Japanese gagaku "bugaku-men". The scene where a cloud of dust boiled high into the air from the dance of stepping on and kicking the ground was dynamic and moving. thank you very much.
One of my favorite dances of all time! I would love to visit Ivory Coast one day and get to meet in person with my favorite dancers. I love the dancers from Tibeita & Bouafle!!
One of the most fascinating native dance around the globe. I could watch them for hours. The mask and the rest of the costume is actually completing this great show.Another very exciting dance is IMO the Kecak dance of Bali,Indonesia.
Can we talk about the music as well? The rhythms are amazing... combined with the leg movements, i cannot stop watching this. Massive props to both the dancers and musicians. This is definitely one of the dances of all time
AFRICA IS THE GREATEST CONTINENT ON THE PLANET...GOD BLESS AFRICA...AND I'M AMERICAN BUT MARRIED TO AN SHONA AFRICAN SO LIVED THERE FOR THE BEST 8 MONTHS OF MY LIFE. THE DAY WE LEFT, I LEFT MY HEART & SOUL THERE...WE WILL BE GOING BACK PERMANENTLY SOON.
Thank you so much for this video.... Just watching these dancers uplifts me..... Almost makes me feel that I too can fly...... This synergy of the Spirit World and the Human World that is evident here in this almost supernatural dance.... prompts me to contemplate what other miraculous things can we create.... when the two Realms join together.... in an atmosphere of Love and Respect.... Truly, I feel, there is no limit..... Sending Blessing of Love and Peace and Joy and Abundance to All People of Good Will...... and Blessings of Healing..... to all others.....
It is fascinating to watch the dancer and listen to the musicians follow the dancers moves! I really enjoy watching these dancers who are quite skilled, as well as listening to the musicians who are also quite skilled as well!
Thanks so much for the information. I have watched Zaouli dance videos before, and we could not decide whether the beat followed the dancer, or the dancer followed the beat. Or perhaps the beat changes were predetermined and therefore expected. So it is interesting to know that beat follows the dancer. Which, is amazing, given the tight synchronisation, and no visible lag between the ever changing dancer's moves and the percussion.
Thank you for explaining the origins and traditions involved in this dance. They look as if they are hovering and the sand kicked up helps create the illusion the are not touching the ground. Very cool. 😎
Incrível as habilidades de movimentos flutuantes desses dançarinos. Parece que ficam travados num ponto flutuante no ar enquanto movimenta somente as pernas!
They do, and a whole different body to go along with the mind because they're attached to a whole different spirit. 🤗 Cerebrum Excrement... are you calling yourself a 💩 head?
Very well put together but like everyone else said, sound balance is bad. Luckily you put the transcription in the description. Other videos are equally well made too. I'll sub
I am no expert but I did have some thoughts from what I know. I found it interesting that Belly Dance also has the musicians follow the dancer, as does Flamenco. Also that the mask is feminine; there is a worldwide tradition of alternative sexuality in dance. Also that it seems to me that African-Americans have preserved so much dance tradition from Africa. Also that the modern dance style called Shuffle has this same groove of relatively more emphasis on footwork with a mostly still body. Best wishes to you dancers out there, you are all celebrating being human.

Muovere le gambe a quella velocità farebbe andare in iperventilazione entro poche decine di secondi anche gli atleti più allenati...questi ballerini devono avere un qualche tipo di preparazione che va ben oltre il fisico...c'è davvero in loro un qualcosa che non posso neppure immaginare
Una coordinazione sovrumana!! Saranno sicuramente iniziati a questa pratica sin da piccoli e avranno sicuramente un qualche tipo di preparazione mistica..tecniche primordiali e profonde...nulla del genere sarebbe altrimenti possibile
Great breakdown. But what I want to know is... Where they install the hydraulic springs in the Dancers' legs, and where they put the ball joints in the Dancer's ankles in order for them to do this crazy stuff. Crazy as in 'mind-boggling' intricacy. They used to have to draw cartoons to do stuff this crazy that they didn't think was Humanly possible. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love it... But I'd also love to have a motion modulating camera to slow down the movement in order to see what exactly these feet and legs are doing. How are we to even count the BPM(beats per minute) with this blistering speed? What are these Guys doing...? Competing with Humming Birds...?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bless You All. The Spirits Have Spoken

I been fascinated by this dance for years. Thank you for breaking down the origin and spiritual aspect of this dance. It's badass.
The clothing the dancers wear is just as cool as the dance itself :D

Looks like a cool demon that would be in an anime

Fascinating to say the least.
This dance is NOT humanly possible.
You're spot on 👍🏼. It's not solely humanly being performed. 👻
Thats. Me when i go to the hot beach 😫, So underrated
One of the most fascinating native dance around the globe. I could watch them for hours. The mask and the rest of the costume is actually completing this great show.Another very exciting dance is IMO the Kecak dance of Bali,Indonesia.
I'll check out the dance "IMO", I'll look forward to making a video about it.
Cheers fam!!
@@mr.africafacts Thanks. The IMO stands for "In My Opinion". The dance is called Kecak. Just to remind you.
Can we talk about the music as well? The rhythms are amazing... combined with the leg movements, i cannot stop watching this. Massive props to both the dancers and musicians. This is definitely one of the dances of all time
The music sounds like Chinese funeral music
Who knew I was doing a Zaouli dance everytime I walked the beach on a hot day.
Touche' 🤺... Mon ami😅

Thank you for making this video. Your in-depth breakdown of all the components that make up this amazing ritual is great
О! Даёт! 🙏👍😊
Я уже много раз просматривал такие видео. И всегда удивляюсь скорости движения. 5+!👍!
Такая же история. Уже смотрю раз 50 может больше и ненадоедает.
Incredible feat of strength endurance, along with balance, not to mention wearing a mask and costume that makes it much more difficult
Takes a lot of time practicing it, to perfect it.
It's amazing. I'm totally captivated by it and continuously watching various performances, I love it.
Your sound needs to be balanced. Your voice over is too soft in comparison to the music which is very loud.
Apologies for the poor voiceover, I'll work on that in my next video.
Grateful🤝
Luckily, he also includes the text of the narration in the video description.
You took hours to create this video. Didn’t you “listen” to it before putting it out?

This is art off an high level, the body is compleet in balans, very difficult moves
this is a true spectacle such a great culture!
No disrespect to the amazing dedication and deliverance of these talented dancers, but who else would have loved to see James Brown do this?
Simply beautiful and mesmerizing to watch! Love it!!
Didn't know that MJ was a student of this phenomenal movement ❤

I knew it! Only through possession can someone dance like this

Super interesting I have to admit the face masks look amazing and scary and the leg movements? That dude in green was smooth
Beautiful ❤ dance from my country Ivory Coast
Speed and rythm ... all natural. Good one
Omg amazing😍👍😍👍😍👍😍👍😍👍😍 I love ❤ this dance..... Love you from India🇮🇳
I've seen some unbelievable talented dancers from India as young as 3 perform. I feel they could execute this dance without any problems. 🕺🏽
Very Cool , Mystical and Mysterious Vibe of Africa.
very Nice
J'adore cette danse
La performance est exceptionnelle
❤🇨🇵
Wild how the legs move and shoulders stays level
OMG!!! This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!
Amazing! It must require great strength to do that! I love the music, too.
this is so cool! its like the legs have a mind of its own.
They do, and a whole different body to go along with the mind because they're attached to a whole different spirit. 🤗

Great performance of these dancers. 👍💪
I’m also impressed by the feverish instrumentals, I’m as pumped up as Brazilian during carnival in Rio de Janeiro
This dance is literally impossible. Respect!! 😲👹 🙏🏽❤
Very impressive. Would love to see it in person
Love watching these from Michigan
*the Irish dance is nothing to ☝️* amazing 🤩
Black Africans are the world's best dancers. They dance from the inside. Everyone else dances as if puppets to music.
It's called soul.
LEER LA MUSICA Y IR AL RITMO DE LOS TAMBORES ESO ES HUMANAMENTE IMPOSIBLE PERO ESTE HOMBRE LO LOGRA A LA PERFECCIÓN
Gerakan nya sesuai tempatnya, efektif utk menghindari panas di kaki
Excellent performance 👏👏👏
The dances is beautiful and well presented
Michael Jackson, who's that. This is some serious moon walking 🤣😂🤣
They look like spirits or something with the way their upper body barely moves while the legs move fast. Its mesmerizing to look at
I love the masks and the costumes.
This is truely Bucket List stuff......... WOW!!!!!!!
Nick, don't make it the first thing on your list ... It might be your last.
@@iya5856 No way I could do it, I'd fall apart........ I'd just love to see it...... Amazing!!
Would love to see a compete beginner learning those steps it must take years to get it to this level.
Gracias felicitaciones y siempre adelante buena velocidad…..
I love your videos, and look forward to more, for the opportunity to learn. What a beautiful dance and a magnificent culture. Peace and love.

I will never not watch when this dance comes into my feed!
Ooh maa
