African Dance

African Dances


African Dances was an important part of Africa because that is what they did to worship their God. They have certain dances that mean something.  "For example, since lifting the feet was considered dancing, many dances included foot shuffling and hip and torso movement. Dances dominant through the 18th century included the ring shout or ring dance, the calenda, the chica, and the juba." This is getting detail about what the African dances are and what they use to dance with. In things fall apart, they talk about their dances and how they do it.
