Are you studying African dance or would like to know more about it?
In this instructional dance DVD, you will learn 4 popular dances from Ghana, West Africa.
Nana Yaw Koranteng, a master dancer and choreographer, breaks down all the steps to each dance so you can clearly see the movements.
After the breakdown, Yaw's group, the Aziza Music and Dance Ensemble, performs the rhythm in real time and the dancers put together all the movements.
Original dance solos are at the end of the video. The four dances taught are: Gahu, Kpatsa, Kpanlogo, and Fume Fume.
This video is perfect for African drum and dance students and was made to help beginners, as well as, advanced students.
Filmed in Ghana, West Africa in the coastal town of Nungua, east of Accra.
This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

I orderred this DVD from a smaller website, so I'm glad its on Amazon now becasue I've had to track it down and buy it for two of my other friends from my African dance group! This video has been an asset for learning and practicing dances between classes that I take from my live teacher. Any student of world or African dancewill benefit from this DV, I hope there will be a sequel soon!

After viewing this DVD, I found it very informative and educational. I personally enjoy learning about people's cultures and lifestyles. So learning cultural Ghanian dances, even though different, there was something fun and appealing about doing the dances as I watched. The music was upbeat and the dance moves were rhythmic and soulful. I suggest anyone who's open-minded, loves change and loves to dance.....to check this out!
