At a friends birthday party he had a professional African Dancer and musician come and preform, we all got in a circle and danced a bit. Was really fun! Nice video

She does very good, the steps are simple and clear, all of you that are laughing at her are not obliged to look! what's the point of being mean, if you don't like just walk away. She is proposing something you like or not but there is not way to be nasty. This is just nastiness for free and i hate it. You do good girl !!!! Thank you for all you videos

First is the name of this dance Lamba or Yankadi.You need to show the difference because both have a similar movement.your technic is weak,show some african spirit.why make a video when you dont know how to teach or dance.please stop.

Brasileiros não acreditem neste video isso não é dança africana e sim dança da preguiça.

Desista!!!!

Too much white blood =No rhymn!!! Aside from that, how the hell are you going to teach african dance with no music????????? Acitivate your melanin and then come back and try again, because this is teaching nothing!! She needs to watch some sisters from West Africa, and learn to dance the correct way before going on you tube and making a fool of herself!! ( By the way I am an American Black Woman).

she dont know what she talking about for one that was the wrong break for that dance and you can teach some online you have to experince it first thats the beauty in our culture i total agree with vixxy06

[vixxy02]

This is a bloody insult to West African dance!!!!

There is nothing remotely African about this feeble American attempt of interpretation of OUR dances! to see the REAL thing,get a West African to teach it!!!!

I am trying so hard to not say anything negative, but I do have to agree with you. I will definitely check out the other group!
