AFRICAN BEATS

African culture have left an indelible mark on Caribbean culture. Let us look at dance. Our folk dances evolved from the original dance forms that came with the African slaves. Dances like the Bongo, Shango dance  are directly related to Mother Africa. The dance form varies and they all have different movements, this is evident when you watch the various dances.The hip, torso  and  hand and feet movement is also very similar to African dance. 

At Mimi-Metamorphosis Dance Theatre, we focus mainly on the Bongo dance which is a dance of strength and is done by males. This dance was dance in the village to settle disputes as well as when someone dies at the home of the deceased (Wake) to allow the passage of the spirit from one world to the next.

We have recently introduced the Pique dance which is a fast creole dance for couples choreograph by African movements. This dance has strong sexual movements mainly hip and pelvic movements by both male and female dance. Due to the sexual content of the dance, this dance is not appropriate for children.
