AFRICAN DANCING

LAST NIGHT I ATTENDED AN AFRICAN DANCE THAT HAD FOUR DRUMMERS AND ABOUT 20 DANCERS. I WAS NOT THE ONLY NEW ONE THERE. WE DANCED BARE FOOT AN SLID AROUND FOR ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS STRAIGHT. WE WERE SWEATING. WE WERE SWEATING. WE FOLLOWED THE TEACHER WHO HAD MORE BAREFOOT DANCERS THAN I'VE SEEN BEFORE. WE STOMPED AND DID RYTHMIC DANCING FOR 2 HOURS AND WE SWEATED DOWN. THEY ANNOUNCED THAT THESE DANCES ARE TRADITIONAL. THEY KEPT US GOING STRONG. SOME OF THEIR DANCES HAD US SPINNING IN CIRCLES. WE GOT QUITE A WORKOUT. SOME OF THEIR DANCES WERE TO TRAIN US TO BE WARRIORS AND BE STRONG. OTHERS WERE JUST FOR FUN. WE DANCED LIKE AFRICANS IN A CIRCLE H CELEBRATING THE FULL MOON.
