From the supplier: West African dance is characterized by percussive music and emphasizes individual expression and interpretation through improvisation. It also uses a lot of space and direction changes to build combinations based on full-body movement. Such movements can be integrated with modern American dance to create a new dance form devoid of sex role stereotypes usually found in traditional dance forms.
