Pack Details

Title: West African Dance Vol 1: Tiriba, Telefone, Mandiani, KuKu, Yolé

Description:

This Pack contains five dances from different regions of West Africa. If you are dancer who feels you could grow in the areas of groundedness, earthiness, arm movement, hand movement, head movement, full body coordinated movement, letting go completely, and solo movement and expression in general, these dances will send you along that path by leaps and bounds.

Yole is a traditional mask dance from the Temne people of Sierra Leone near the Guinean border. It is danced by young and old at nearly all festive occasions.

Kuku is from the forest region of Guinea, a rhythm originally used to welcome initiates back into the village.

Mandiani is a traditional Malinke rhythm from eastern Guinea, originally danced by the young girls of the village before coming of age.

Triba is a welcoming dance of the Baga people of north western Guinea.

Telefone is a recently composed rhythm and dance, Telefone refers to the role the drum plays in bringing people together as well as the communication between the drum and the dancer.

This West African dance lesson originally appeared on the DVD "West African Dance Vol 1". It is our pleasure to make it available online for students of African dance and dancers who wish to cross-train in multiple disciplines.
