African Dancing

Act out stories of ancestors and gods
Reciting poetry they gave us nods
Polyrhythmic drumming
Mamas are a humming
African dances will shake up your bods.

Thank you Caren for recognizing my African heritage. Well its not just mine. and we are not the only culture that dance. As a African-American and former Dee Jay I have seen people dance.
