Drum Jam


Dear husband,

For my dance class I have to plan a 2 hour recital. I have to plan decorations, costumes, props, choreography style, design the program and find lots and lots of awesome music!
I decided to go with an African safari theme and I'm addicted!
I've always loved African dancing
It's grounded, loose, energetic and uses your whole body.
And the music is beautiful! I've seriously searched through hundreds of different songs and found 20 songs I find perfect for the recital.


I'm actually quite happy and impressed with the recital I have planned.
Here are 2 songs I'm completely addicted to.



and of course the song Wavin' Flag from the 2010 World Cup (which I've had stuck in my head since Saturday)
