Every continent, country and culture has its own unique dances. The fact that Africa has its own is nothinor unique. I’m not really sure what the point of this video is.

@free2 Dance is important to most cultures…. and tells a story… So Africa is just the same…. Why is that worthy of a TED talk?
free2
April 18, 2023 at 2:40 pm
@Stephen Catton Because of the huge diversity of dances in one continent. Take Europe for instance. There is always going to be a smaller number of ethnic dances in a continent made up of countries like Europe than one like Africa, with thousands of tribes spanning a huge land mass, each with distinct dance styles. Because of the historical significance of dance in African culture. Dance was used both in Africa and the Americas by slaves as a communication tool between slaves or colonized people when direct communication was not allowed. Because African dance styles have influenced a plethora of modern dance styles. I’m from the US and almost all music in our country has been influenced in some way by African music.
Stephen Catton
April 18, 2023 at 4:05 pm
@free2 Well as you say Africa is much bigger than Europe so you would expect there to be more. But if you grouped the land mass of Europ with Russia, China India etc they would have more cultural dances than Africa… so what ? I am from the UK and we also have many differing cultural dances going back centuries and none that I am aware of were influenced by Africans. Not until very recently… say 60 year or so and that was with popular music. So that’s why I don’t understand why African dance is worth a TED talk.
free2
April 18, 2023 at 4:25 pm
@Stephen Catton No, it’s not about the land mass. The area you describe is a large area but it does not have the diversity of dance styles in the African continent.
There are over 3000 tribes in Africa. There is no comparison when it comes to the diversity of dance in Africa and the region you mention.
Also, rock and roll is rooted in the gospel, jazz, and blues of the 1940s. Rock and roll started out in the black communities of the US. That music became rock and roll and then crossed over to the UK where British artists added their own influence to it. Please read up on the history of British rock and roll. Also, modern British music is heavily influenced by African and Caribbean rhythms due to the large number of Caribbean immigrants living in the Uk.

@Stephen Catton Allow me to add this – The Rolling Stones we’re heavily influenced by American black music. They named the band after a Muddy Waters song after all.

I’ve been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it’s the best time to get started on the market. i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making over $972,000 within 3 Months with a capital of $200,000. i need to know how to go about it.

I’ve always thought dancing being african is a whole new level that other cultures can’t even think about. I’m latina and dance is important to us but not to this level, it’s so beautiful.

She touches my heart. Her warm voice, the glow in her eyes, her dignity and beauty, so youthful and yet so mature, so embodied, so confident, so gracious. For some reason it makes me feel emotional, to see a woman dancing without fear, in complete liberation within her own body, while honouring her people’s history and culture. The dances are exuberant and beautiful and it’s amazing to behold how embodied the dancer is; she’s in complete ease and command of herself but there is no swagger or arrogance or vanity. It’s just beautiful and so divinely feminine.
