Hmph it's crazy how people think Africans can't come up with anything themselves...

@LJboogy27 I agree with you if they only knew that 80% of the music and dance today came from us!! LOL

Compare this Grand March with the one demonstrated in the late 19th century Grand March video that is found on YouTube. They are very similar.
Btw, belated congratulations to the bride and groom! :o)

I saw a Grand March that was very similar to this at a Liberian wedding reception in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I'd love to know more about this tradition. It seems to be an adaption of European processional dancing. Does anyone have any information about the history/sources of these types of dances and which cultures do them? If so, please share that information. Thanks!

@Azizip17 You have it backwards. European proessional dancing is an adaption of this type of wedding dance tradition that originated in Liberia, West Africa. You actually think Africans would copy a European dance? I think not. lol.

@cece2711-I'm not a dance historian, but I think that there are probably examples of Africans "copying off of" European dances now & in the past. I also think that Africans created dances that were improvisations of European dances. That's also true of African Americans. One example that comes to mind for African Americans is the 19th century & maybe earlier "cakewalk". That said, with all due respect, I"d love to know the name of the Liberian dance that became the European Grand March.
