4 all. African dance exist. This is African dance BANTU based but choreographically u can easily define what is this dance about. 4 me its harvesting dance as the ladies are picking crops cut down the plant, take shower and make love and later celebrate. The drum used are called Djembe the beats depend on the theme can be quick or slow. This guy is a good dance and the ladies you dance good. This not Indian beats at all it is African beats
For all you people saying this is African Dance i would just like to tell you all once and for all: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "AFRICA DANCE." If you look at a map you will see that africa is a CONTINENT made up of DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. WITHIN those countires are lots of DIFFERENT ETHENIC GROUPS who all have their own languages and DIFRFERENT DANCES. Thereofre there is no such thing as "African Dance". This sterotypical concept of "African Dance" is extremely insulting.
Some of you have so funny comments over here. 'This isn't African dancing'? So what is it? I guess you are an expert in 'African dance' . Can you tell us what African dance is? I am an African and in my country alone you will find at least a 100 different ways of dancing amongst the 279 ethnic groups represented. Now let me remind you that Africa is a continent with 53 countries. With that in mind do you still think you know all about African dance? Still need some proof?
instead of hating you guys neeeds to congratulate these women for there great performance and appreciate the fact that they took interest in the african culture. great job ladys!
I have been dancing african profissionally for twelve years. in fact i was born in liberia and i traveled all over africa before comng to te states so i know african dance when i see one. these lady are doing cultural african dance, they do this in the villages with costumes and everything. i can see these ladys are just begining but they did a good job. if you dance maybe you dont do this style maybe you dance cope. who knows there are alot of african dances out there.
it is true that a lot of people automatically believe that since someone comes from africa that they automatically know African dance...i have been dancing professionally for 10years now, and not one of those moves have i ever seen in my life...maybe its a new thing??? maybe he just came up with some wacked routine to get paid...(which is what im thinking) nobody knows for sure. BUT....just dont take this and pass it on...cuz it was fugly
@MIlkababexo i don't know what happened to your comment, can't find it.
but : you don't even see him dancing here, so on what do you base your opinion? On some moves he teaches us? I could tell you he studied dance in Africa. I could tell you he's been teaching african dance for 30 years. I could tell you all about him. But I won't, since you already seem to "know" everything.
@Pinkcookielove100 yeah , me too (im congolese), i've never seen anything like that before (not that i know every traditional dances in africa, but still..)....
I admire those who a new to dance and are brave enough to get up in front of a group. They may not yet be as skilled as those with more experience but that takes time. Please be kind. When you post a vid with other people in it making fun of them is just mean. Did everyone who danced here know you were going to post this publicly? They came to the dance class to learn and have fun not to be publicly put down.
I like it..you guys look like you were having fun and that's all that matters..I myself use to African dance back in the day..I love it and believe I will eventually get back into it to get in shape
Do you happen to know the musicians, the type of music (or what region of Africa is the dance your doing), or where I could find such a rhythm? Thank you!
Could you PLEASE tell me the name of this song, the genre, artist, or where I can find this music? Any information? I am choreographing a dance and this music is exactly what I am looking for! Thanks, this is highly appreciated!
Fun! You are really good, and a lot of people commenting on here are ignorant. Africans, why would you not want people participating in this beautiful expression of soul? Even the tall girl, damnit let her dance! Dancing is about connecting to the earth, our natural internal rhythms, and coming together. You people with your negativity are the reason the world is still fragmented and depressed in many many ways. Come together, be positive, love! Jeeze!
@Laeyto thank you. and you are SO right. i hate how people comment on this video and tell me i'm not ALLOWED to dance this way or that i ruin their culture..? puh-lease.. :p
hey they put in very good effort and spirit into this. I love seeing things like this.Its beautiful. I'm from Nigeria and i think if the world was not messed up as it is, this would be seen as the ordinary thing and not anything special.
am african and people who always trying to make this about colour shud honestly just get a life its 2010 , i love it,,,,,,,,but the tall girl in the middle killed me off lol nice one..........if its for fun or not or to learn or not or to make money .....enjoy yourself otherwise i know african who learn balroom dancing in london dammmmmmn they shud be in trouble lol lol
At least SOMEONE is taking interest in African culture. Those WHITE AMERICANS you speak so illy of, not ONLY bring food and shelter to the people in your country, but respect your culture enough to provide lessons on it, (As seen above.) There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with "white people" embracing "black people". If you have a problem with it, you are INDEED a racist. To even assume that all people in Africa can practice "African Dance" is definately prejudice.
@wlx well I wasn't referring to you, just all the comments below of made by the ignorant pricks. :) BUT, if you don't consider yourself American, and you live in America, get the fuck out.
MUSIC AND DANCING HAS NO RACE, OR CULTURAL BORDERS. GROW UP, IF WE CAN'T COMMUNICATE UNIVERSALLY THROUGH THINGS THAT DON'T REQURE VOCAL EXPRESSIONS AND OPINIONS, LMITATIONS, RACIST REMARKS, PREJUDICES SUCH AS SUCH AS THESE, THEN WHAT THE HELL IS THE PURPOSE OF ANYTHING.....
Wow great job,, I'm from Surinam, but i enjoyed watching you guys dance.. Great job.. def. continue... As long as you are have fun at it, learning something from it,, and not seeing it as something that must be done,, keep going.. Really.. Great job, from amsterdam.
wow.. people stop being so racist. and no ones steling anyones culture, there just experiencing a new thing! people need to relax about this stuff, and just because your white doesnt mean your automatically bad at dancing..
That looked like so much fun. African people have natural dancing talent, but you guys were pretty good. They are not ruining African culture they are just enjoying it! I think I'll take some African dance lessons. I love African culture, it's so beautiful and vibrant!
I'm Irish and people been stealing our culture..ahem let's not mention americans..forever and I guess you just got to look at it as flattery :-) By the way...awesome job girls!
Hey I am African and damn they at least are showing an intrest in our culture...stop hating and lets all get together and have fun........ you guys did a good job.
@Mickii07 god, what's up with everyone?! don't be so selfish. we love the african dance. so what if we're not as good as africans? isn't that normal?!
do u think that if i practic this dance day and night i would for 10 days i would do it like u. wait i cant do it if i practiced 100 years like u :D ur great. for the record my real name is sarah and i am looking forward to talk to u more.
wats ur real name so i could add u to facebook.
if u want to add me my name is sarah khalife.and send me a message to tell me """""i am wlx'''''''''
cause if u arent or if u are living some where near lebanon and want to come as a tourerest u r more than welcome to come and teach me and we could be friends
@dado4cats thanks, i take these leasons in Belgium, i don't know where you're from. if you're from belgium, i can give you more information, if not, well, the, it's pointless :p
@MsUgochi reverse racism awesome....these people are having fun and paying tribute to another culture...sometimes its not about your skin color...relax...not everyone is racist
thanks so much :) finally found some african dance moves I can use for my dance class at school. We need at least one move and my group is doing a grocery store dance that fits in with our pedestrian dance unit. The hand movements definitely look like stocking groceries on a shelf. Thanks again :)
This is why Africans, no matter how poor they are, remain very happy people. It is that African drum, the music and the dance. African-Americans inherited all of that and westernized it which is why they tend to be very spiritual. Africans are very spiritual (not religious) and this keeps them going.
that was awesome!! I recently started teaching Zumba so I'm always looking for cool new moves!!! I LOVE African dance, I wish it were offered where I live!
I wish white people would respect culture. It is ok to want to do African dance but many of them are doing this for profit & not just to experience the culture, i.e. by having groups like the above that are all white. You don't see other ethic groups like black people, chinese, etc. having their own river dance group or bag pipe players. It's nice to want to experience other cultures but imitation is not always a form of flattery..They look like a hot mess!!
I agree. And to the poster above you who mentioned "native" clothing. Seriously? These moves are not that difficult, and this is not being danced with respect and appreciation.
@vixenmrb I don't think you should generalize Caucasian people like that. I take belly dancing, which is a Middle Eastern dance. I don't do it for the profit or any other reason beside the facts that a) I love it, and b) I love the history behind it, the stories you can tell by dancing. I'm not being rude - I just wanted to make a point to say that Caucasian people aren't as ignorant of cultures as you perceive us to be.
Whatever people manages to get in touch with their jungle self, is by all means expressing what dancing is. I like this group. It makes no difference whether it is an African dance or not. After all, Africa does not hold a monopoly on jungles or the ability to get in touch with one's skin, whether it is colored or discolored. It's all good.
Mmmm mira morra no tngo nada en contra d su raza pero pzz soun un chinguero y ya invadieron todo el mundo pzz chevere por ustedes que aprecien a un raza tan vergas como la afrikna
Thank you for sharing this dance. I will be teaching it to my class of elementary school students for an international festival. The moves are authentc, and yet simple. Love it!!
WTF? WHHHHHYYYY???? lol ... It's nice to see black culture tearing down barriers and all... But no amount of practice or African material wrapped around your waste is going to express the soul and passion behind African dancing... Black women are Queens, Divas, and Goddesses. OFTEN IMITATED BUT NEVER DUPLICATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would probably look more authentic if they wore native costume.

I wish white people would respect culture. It is ok to want to do African dance but many of them are doing this for profit & not just to experience the culture, i.e. by having groups like the above that are all white. You don't see other ethic groups like black people, chinese, etc. having their own river dance group or bag pipe players. It's nice to want to experience other cultures but imitation is not always a form of flattery..They look like a hot mess!!

I agree. And to the poster above you who mentioned "native" clothing. Seriously? These moves are not that difficult, and this is not being danced with respect and appreciation.

@vixenmrb I don't think you should generalize Caucasian people like that. I take belly dancing, which is a Middle Eastern dance. I don't do it for the profit or any other reason beside the facts that a) I love it, and b) I love the history behind it, the stories you can tell by dancing. I'm not being rude - I just wanted to make a point to say that Caucasian people aren't as ignorant of cultures as you perceive us to be.

Whatever people manages to get in touch with their jungle self, is by all means expressing what dancing is. I like this group. It makes no difference whether it is an African dance or not. After all, Africa does not hold a monopoly on jungles or the ability to get in touch with one's skin, whether it is colored or discolored. It's all good.

Good job people. However which country in Africa dances like this?
Am african and I can tell you with 100% confidence NO African country dances like this.

Thank you for sharing this dance. I will be teaching it to my class of elementary school students for an international festival. The moves are authentc, and yet simple. Love it!!

WTF? WHHHHHYYYY???? lol ... It's nice to see black culture tearing down barriers and all... But no amount of practice or African material wrapped around your waste is going to express the soul and passion behind African dancing... Black women are Queens, Divas, and Goddesses. OFTEN IMITATED BUT NEVER DUPLICATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
