The copyright for Afrotans belongs to the ancient nomadic tribes of Southern Sahara who simply imitated the mating dances of wild animals.
Afro has been the main trend for several fashion seasons in a row, not only on catwalks, art galleries and beauty salons, but also at glamorous parties: ethnic rhythms and melodies have become new favorites of star disc jockeys. If you want to join the ranks of Afromaniac, learn to dance exotic!
Dance instinct
The copyright for Afrotans belongs to the ancient nomadic tribes of Southern Sahara, who simply imitated the mating dances of wild animals and learned to listen to the music of nature, then untouched by globalization.
The Afro-Danes combined the wisdom of hundreds of generations who lived according to the laws of spontaneous biorhythms, and the primordial "wild energy", devoid of destructive aggression and completely aimed at creation.
Tribal dances of Africans are not only ritual in nature (religious ceremonies, duel, greeting, wedding), but also reflect the way of life of prehistoric natives: graceful kneeling in prayer to heavenly bodies, balanced jumps of a hunter, equanimous posture of a rider, pull-ups like on evergreen vines, flowing inclinations during field work - isn’t this kind of Mowgli-style gymnastics necessary for bored hostages of offices, traffic jams and many hours of flights ?!
Pure freedom
His afro-exercises are not at all like standard workouts, rather they are fitness meditation sessions accompanied by a mischievous drum rhythm and relaxing sounds of nature: the sound of a waterfall, birdsong and the rustle of palm leaves. After the lesson, you feel relaxation, lightness, a surge of positive emotions and absolutely no fatigue! Mario confessed to us the secret of his skill:
- For me, Afrodans are life itself, and I want to show students that it is ethnic dances that help a person improve himself, expand his horizons, love himself for who you really are, and reveal the beauty within himself! Afrotanians are work on themselves, on their bodies, on plastic, people learn to "breathe" with their bodies, to live in harmony with their physiology.
For those who are just starting to practice in this style, I can say that neither dance experience, nor physique, nor age absolutely do not matter, the main thing is a sincere desire!
You can come to Afrotan lessons in any mood, just please leave all your problems and sad thoughts outside the door of the ballroom, try not to think about anything at all, “turn off your head” for at least 60 minutes. And you will immediately feel that dance is an art that turns the worst mood into the most beautiful, into the joy of life!
Dress in loose-fitting clothes for class: oversized T-shirts and light trousers will do. I advise you to dance barefoot: we are already squeezed all the time, the metropolis forces us to wear strict clothes and shoes, and in Afro lessons it is useful to feel natural, to succumb to the ancient rhythm of the drum, to feel our own heartbeat, to awaken a source of creative energy in ourselves.
But the result will be only when you yourself, without looking at anyone, decide: “I want to dance afro”!
Afro-Danes will help you find your natural self in the bustle of the stone jungle!
