So you think you can dance

Our guide in Gonder demonstrated modern Ethiopian dance for us and explained that the basic dance move migrates from head to toe as you travel North to South in the country. In North Ethiopia, the head and neck drive the dance. A little further south, in Gonder, you do the shoulder dance. South again, in Addis Ababa and surrounding area, the chest and trunk are the focal point. Then the hips and bottom, and finally in southernmost Ethiopia, people stomp their feet.
