African Dance - African History through dance and music - Houston based dance company Intuitive African Dance and Drum Culture is a dynamic and energetic fusion of traditional West African Dance and Culture and its transitions in this country and the Diaspora. The group is available for drum lessons, corporate events, cultural events and more. The Company was started due to the diverse culture of Houston. Houston is the fourth largest city in the country and to my knowledge, there is only one similar organization here. Preservation of traditional West African Dance is important because the rhythms and dances of this culture can be seen and heard in the music and popular dances of not only this country but others as well. Research has confirmed that enslaved Africans came only from West Africa. Those enslaved Africans brought to this country and countries throughout the Daspora, their drum rhythms, music and dancing. West Africans incorporate dance and drum in every aspect of their lives, including celebration, religion, rites of passage and death. This is an important link to our society that needs to be cultivated and shared.
