So every year, UVU (formerly UVSC) invites a bunch of High School Dance Companies to take a workshop at the school... and yes try to sway you to coming into their dance program. Well, I decided to try a class that I've had very little experience with in my life. I took a modern class followed by an African dancing class. It was INCREDIBLE! Pretty sure also, that was the best time I've ever had dancing. We found ourselves laughing while we were dancing, just because it was so much fun. African was totally a contrast from the formal, quiet, respect the placement of things... modern class. Because in African you can shout things (ya ya!) while you dance, you try to just have a good time (and it's hard not to.) We learned a work dance and a celebration dance called the Bwanga from Congo. We seriously had a great time. After classes we got to go make up a little bit of movement, grab lunch, listen to college requirements, and see a performance of the companies. It was a blast! Oh, and by the way, we were totally spoiled and got live musicians to play the piano for modern and the drums for African :) Again, AMAZING :)

Shake it like a polaroid picture baby.
You are going to have to show me some of those African dance moves when you get your butt down here.
You know, they had this really cool reward on Survivor:Gabon where the winning tribe got to go and watch/participate in African tribal dancing. It looked pretty cool and like a lot of fun!
