Dance, Dance, Dance


Day 7 started off great. We went to Yallahs High School to finish continue our documentary. We watched a group of boys show us the different dances that are popular in Jamaica. It went exactly with the conversation we had with visitors who gave us a lecture yesterday on Jamaican dance and music. For example, we talked about the 14 types of dances in Jamaica and where they came from. We also talked about Myal which is the oldest dance in Jamaica, and Quadrille, a dance from the popular dances of the French and English in 18th and 19th centuries. I really enjoyed learning new dances from the Yallahs scholars. However, I will go to Philly and teach them all the new dance lessons I have learned. In the near future, I will always connect that information with America and use it also. In addition, I will give my brothers and sisters in my community the information that I have learned.
