Traditional Ethiopian Dance
Ethiopia is the only independent country in Africa and one of the oldest
country in the world. (over 3000 year history) Ethiopia has a very unique
culture and variety of folk dance. Folk dance is one of the symbol of this
unique culture. All Ethiopian people love dancing, and it is one part of
their life.
Ethiopian dance is quite different from other
African dance styles. It is based on sensuous and refined movement of the
upper body, especially the shoulders and neck. This basis ripples into
passionate and physically intense flow to the entire body creating a
revitalizing spiritual experience…and an invigorating workout!
Dances of Abyssinia features three styles of celebration dances performed at
various social gatherings in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The first part features
the high-energy dance of the Gurage of Ethiopia, which also depicts women
making Kocho, traditional food made from the insides of banana trees. Next
is the Tigrigna dance from Eritrea & Ethiopia. This style is flowy and
graceful, traditionally performed in two parts:- In the slow Kuda part,
every one flows together in a circle while in the faster Dirib part, the
emphasis is on dancing with isolations of the neck, shoulders and chest. The
last part is Eskesta, the popular dance of Ethiopia from the Amhara people.
It is a dance which also focuses on the upper body in a more relaxed form
than the Tigrigna. Socially, all three styles emphasize community as well as
individual interpretation
