African Dance

Right now I’ll let you know a couple of dance that I personally love to bounce: African dance! This dance accompanies the glad or sad moments of life. Exuberant, energetic, it’s practiced barefoot to the rhythm of the djembe, a percussion instrument. 

Impressed by people dances

The African dance courses are impressed by the standard dances of Cameroon, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Senegal… That’s to say the range and richness of this dance! Very energetic, the African dance calls for the entire physique and requires a terrific mobility of the hips and the bust. Relaxed pelvis and again (backbone), legs unfold aside, ft nicely anchored within the floor, chest (sternum) open to the sky: these are the important bases to enter this dance.
