This video was very helpful to me -- it offers a basic foundation of what moves are involved in popular Ghanaian dances. I recommend this video to anyone who practices African dance.

Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :9
After viewing this DVD, I found it very informative and educational. I personally enjoy learning about peoples 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 whos open-minded, loves change and loves to dance.....to check this out!
Energetic and Engaging

There isnt a lot of quality material out there to help people learn authentic West African dance. This DVD really fills the void. It has lively, colorful visuals, and the dances are presented clearly with a wonderful drumming ensemble. I like how the presentation alternates between instruction and performance examples. As a classroom music teacher, I hoped my students would enjoy working with the DVD. In fact, they loved it, and it really brought this exciting art form to them in a fun and educational way!
I bought for my friend too...

The dances were energetic and creative. The instructor really takes time out to break each move down so that it would be easy to learn the dances.
