“The Maasai traditional dance is unique among the African dances.

One can compare the body movement to a wave where it evolve in turn: the neck, the shoulders, the chest and the back bottom. The gestural is rather sober, the arms remain close to the body and the legs budge in vertical jumps: the energy is channeled. The Maasai people draws in dance and songs the forces to confront the nature.”

 

Join Fernando as he skillfully navigates participants through movements that preserve the essence of this traditional dance, infusing it with a contemporary energy that has allowed him to craft his own artistic language.
