This blog shouldn't be mostly about dance - but then again, maybe it should. At least for me, dance has been a big part of my experience in Mozambique, and I don't think this is only because I am a dance lover, but because if you keep your eyes open it's everywhere.
At clubs and parties, endless festivals and shows - obviously.
And on the streets you will often see people dancing/walking to the music playing in their mp3 players, portable radios or any music playing somewhere outside, and groups of friends showing each other dance moves.
Finally, if you are really alert, you might catch a kid seemingly daydreaming a rhythm or a song and interrupting whatever he's doing to make a quick dance move for himself.
It seems like everyone dances and nobody's shy about it.
Centro Crianca Feliz had their annual party last week and I got to participate for a few hours and see the children, parents, grandparents and staff have fun playing games and performing dance, singing and plays for each other. There are some really impressive artists among these children!
One of the highlights for me was this improvised dance show, where three boys got up and danced for the whole crowd. (And at the end of the video you can how a few girls can barely wait to get on that stage)...
Have fun!
