Keep the Dance Alive | Que la danse continue
(Excerpt 1)

What we refer to as dance and music, represent a dense and complex imaginary universe in the culture of the Ovahimba, a people, which, like many others in Africa, live artistic and spiritual expression as an integrated part of everyday life.”
Rina Sherman, 2007.
