- Notes:
- Here is a spirited celebration of traditional African dance filmed in the villages and suburban compounds of Senegal and the Gambia. Chuck Davis, an internationally renowned ethnic dancer, is accompanied by several American dancers on one of his frequent visits to West Africa. The film is an intimate and inspiring portrait of African dance and village life, celebrating life, movement, and a sense of community. It focuses upon three different tribes or ethnic groups (Wolof, Mandinka, and Diola) in three different regions of Senegambia. It shows the warmth of the West African people and the importance of dance in their daily lives.
