Traditional African Dancing at the Ndere Center

Dance Party!
Dance Party!

Last night we went to the Ndere Center in Kampala, Uganda. They show traditional dances while you eat dinner. Before or after every single dance, they talked about the dance. Many people would dance to a song at once. It was traditional dances danced to traditional music. They also had one dance from Rwanda and drums from Burundi.

At one point they joked about Obama. They said that Obama was not a name but an acronym. They said it stood for Original Black African Managing America.

There were a lot of kids there, too. I meant three others there, but there had to be at least twenty other kids. The kids I met were ages 2, 4, 5, and 10. The four year old was named Andrew. He was from Germany, I think. He was speaking German. The ten year old was from Uganda.  His name was Samuel and was one of the dancers in the show. I think the other two are from Uganda.  At the end we all mixed and danced and partied and it was just fun.
