Dancing the night away

Lukas writing...At home (America) when we went to Lithuanian school on Saturdays, we learned how to dance some Lithuanian folk dances. Here in Ethiopia people dance very different. Here people mostly dance alone, but sometimes they dance with two people, in pairs. When people dance in pairs, usually there is one man with one woman in front. They look at each other first over one shoulder, then over the other shoulder. When one person dances, a circle forms with people watching him/her. Here in Ethiopia, people do not really dance with lines and circles.
When people dance, they usually move their shoulders really fast and hard. We can’t move our shoulders as fast as they move theirs because we almost never use the muscles. Also when men are in the circle they jump really high. It’s Amazing. It’s interesting to learn about other peoples cultural dances.
