When I first began African dance it was specifically because of the drums and what the sound stirred in me. It was a place where I was completely uninhibited. It was a more preferable expression for me than verbal communication. At the time I was still very shy. Over time and with changes, it became something more, something deeper, a responsibility to the community to keep going.” |
