In December 2000, Bernard Woma, head xylophonist and master drummer of the Ghana National Theatre, and his award winning ensemble, the Dagara Dance Troupe, performed ancient West African music and dance before a video production crew live, on location, in Ghana, West Africa. This performance of traditional West African xylophone music and dance, featuring one of the top musicians in Ghana and his best dancers, was recorded on location beneath the forested hills in the outskirts of Accra, capital city of Ghana. Dagara music is some of the oldest xylophone (balafon) and percussion music in the West Africa or the world, with complex rhythms that challenge listener and performer alike. The dancing is joyful, expressive and highly participatory. This live performance video is offered for sale as a means of sharing Dagara music and culture with the global community of music teachers, students, and enthusiasts. African music, African drumming, and African dance fans will enjoy the music and video within.

114. Vance's Fantastic Classic Black Dance Theatre - DANCE HISTORY 1 In America, the dance movement of Africa was restrained mainly by two factors There was a place in America, however, where african dancing did flourish http://www.theatredance.com/mhist01.html

AFRICAN-AMERICAN CONTRIBUTIONS to THEATRICAL DANCE Compiled from "Image of Perfection: The Freestyle Dance of Matt Mattox" by Bob Boross African dance has contributed the following characteristics to dance in America: 1. a flat footed gliding action, dragging and shuffling the feet 2. movement performed in a crouch, with knees bent and body bent at the waist 3. movement that generally imitates animals 4. movement that exhibits improvisation, allowing for freedom of expression 5. movement that is centrifugal - exploding outward from the hips 6. movement that is performed to a propulsive rhythm to give a swinging quality The term "swinging quality" is important to understand and recognize as a defining characteristic of African rhythm. Whereas European music tends to accent the first and third beat of a bar of music, or accent all beats equally, African rhythms tend to accent the second and fourth beats. This gives the feeling of a rebound, or as if the second and fourth beats were an answer to the first and third beats. It is a bounce, like a bouncing ball, that rebounds and continually renews the energy of the beat. Dolores Kirton Cayou, in her book Modern Jazz Dance, agrees with the Stearns characteristics but also adds the quality of "polyrhythm in body movements". This is the practice of moving individual parts of the body in opposing and separate rhythms. It is a feat of coordination and complexity. It is another of the important movement qualities that Africans brought to America during the slave trade that are still visible in the jazz dances of the twentieth century.
