thread_title:  African Dance... 

message: I have tried to structure the article. A lot remains to be done. The German source I added (Kubik) is an excelent introduction into African Music and Dance. I will expand the article with some of that material. Has that book been translated into english? Would be worth doing! Nannus 16:56, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I have removed ", which are similar to Japanese and Chinese martial arts, are used to train people in the techniques of wielding weapons and avoiding attacks."
I regard this to be right. At least, no reference is given. Probalbly this was motivated by Capoeira, but that is a Brazilian bad development. I am sure something like that is not existed in Africa.
I have learned to dance one African war dance myselfe (Atsiaagbekor, a dance from the Ewe in Volta Region in Ghana) and that is not a martial art, just a dance. I was taught this dance by Isaac Amissah, a former member of the Ghanean National Ballet. Nannus 23:24, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Warrior dances

message: It seems to me the sentence "One of the precious gifts God has given to Africans is the gift of singing and dancing" takes a pov about the existence of god and isn't very encyclopedic. What do you think? Udi Raz 03:06, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
