With only the sweat that was extracted from the dance floor they were starting to fade away. They didn’t even seem to put up a fight as I scrubbed them off with cheap lavender scented soap and luke-warm water. “Those Bastards” I murmured.

In some way‚ African dance is also in the long-term practice of continuous improvement and improvement‚ it is deeply rooted among the people‚ with a strong rhythm‚ rich feelings

For my StoryCorps project‚ I chose to interview one of my dance teachers‚ Cheryl Ann White‚ because I knew that there had to be a story behind why she decided to teach dance. Also‚ I have known her for a very long time but never really knew anything about her life. I had always thought she went to college‚ but in our interview I learned that she did not.
