West African dance revolves around notion the Bantaba - "The Dancing
Ground" - among the Mandinka of West Africa. The Bantaba is a place
where community, affirmation, confirmation of self purpose is initiated-
a spiritual circle around which the community revolves. 


Courtship, sex, marriage, inititiation all have dances.


Dance is woven into - and is a part of - life and sex and romance.


Very sexy i think.
