Welcome page



Hello my name is Michelle Hughes, welcome to the Essence of African Dance. In my previous blog, I introduced you to specific types of dance, such as, Choreography, Formalized Movement, Line, Form, and Repetition as well as Rhythm. Today I will introduce you to the  history of African dance and what it embodies.  Most of us know that Africa is a continent known for having rhythm in its blood, and it is this innate quality that makes people of Africa so expressive.  Through dance Africans are able to express their social values and patterns.  African dance represents the life and culture of the community.
