Afro dance



Ey people! I would like to describe one of my biggest passion- Afro Dance. This dance come from, as its name says, from Africa. It's one of the most powerful dances in the world so if you want to practise it, u should be ready for everything.. Like strong sores and feet injury;) Afro dance is kind of spiritual dance because it is danced during very important, local ceremonies. Music is so spectular because it's played live, moreover drums like djembe or dun-dun make you wanna fly away, give you energy so you feel like in a trance! There is a lot of jumping, moving and shaking. One of the most important thing is that afro dancers should have a good coordination because you have to change some moves really, really fast. 

In the picture- 3 hours of Afro Dance workshops in Batucada dance studio. It was so much fun and so much pain next day. :)

Save the elephants!



Ey you all, I want to share with you a big problem which is made by our human race. African elephants are on danger, more and more of these majestatic animals die because of.. human's greed. An ivory is willingly buying by tourists and nobody thinks that they tenotribute to elephants extinition. If we don't do anything, they will die in about 10 years!!!
How we can help? The simplest way is just don't buy the ivory. If we can help them more, we can donate the money for their protection in popular organisations like:  http://www.tuskusa.com/ or http://www.savetheelephants.org/ . The elephants are the most inteligent animals for me, they have feelings just like us, so we should say STOP ELEPHANT'S COACHING, STOP ILLEGAL TRAFFICKING and STOP DEMAND! It's the voice of animals lovers, especially elephants lovers so don't be neutral for elephants suffering and let the world know that we do not need the ivory, we prefer to save the elephants!

Door Of No Return



As I am an african history and culture passionate I would like to share with u a little bit of my knowledge of the Black Continent. What is the door of no return? It had started in XV ceintury and was persisting to XIX. It is located in Ghana. It was a place from where white people (clolnizers) took Africans for slavish work as they were their owns. Treated as things, not humans, were transported by ships in inhuman conditions to another countries. A travel was persisting something about 3 months or longer. During the travel a lot of people died because nobody care about the salves. It's a dramatic history point where is no information about how many Africans were died, it was just uncountable..If you want to see what I am talking about,check out the link below.
