Of the many many differences I encounter here, one of the most beautiful is the traditional dancing- the costumes are the traditional wear of a married Bankole woman, and their dance moves reflect the movement of the large-horned cows (Ankole cattle) moving through the fields. They're dancing the Bishop who visited (one would have thought Jesus was coming the way they prepared) But it was an amazing thing to be a part of. I was able to help the girls into the traditional wear of a married woman as well as learn the songs. They tried to convince me to learn the dance, but I didn't want to steal their thunder with my amazing dance moves.... or not so much- Mom, remember the time you tried to take me to step areobics, definately got Dad's sense of coordination, and I apoligize to all other past dance partners whose toes I've clomped or knocked down on the dance floor. Yeah, no traditional dance for me, but here it is for you to enjoy.

Diana, you could have danced with them and totally stood out!Think of all the polkas you've done...now that surely is practice for any and all ethnic dancing!!We enjoyed the singing and dancing. Thanks for the video. Love, Dad and Mom
Diana: fancy video.. I'm very impressed.
Thanks for sharing this. The only thing missing was an eagle at 10:30. You would have felt right at home.
