The africans sure can dance. They are born into the rythm.
First, they learn how to walk, and then they learn how to dance. By themselves! Comparing with the brazillian, the africans don't dance forward to back, they dance from side to side.
Seeing a young couple dance is breathtaking. With eyes closed, woman's head on the man's shoulder, a tight grip and the floor is owned by them. Three steps and a long step with a pause, and then it starts again, sometimes two steps and pause, other times 4 and a pause. The pause is crucial. Much like the climax of the dance but repeatedly.
The woman is simply graceful. Feeling the music, the man and the whole of her own body, she delivers herself to the moment.
The man is in control. He's enjoying it. With a beautiful woman in his arms, a delicate rose petal to protect amidst swings, the couple is complete. Strong and tall, as graceful as her.
After this, who wants to dance to a square, 4 by 4 tempo song? African song and dance definitely rule.
