The Sabar













You probably can't tell from this picture, but I am dancing just like my sister/mother Fatou - practically a mirror image. I got the mbalax and "obama" down. (They have a dance where they say "obama" and it seems like the cool thing to do if you're young and hip). Really knew how to work all that cloth I was wearing.




I don't think he agreed though...the crowd didn't really react to my dancing. Fatou said I was too timid.


















There's another SIT student sitting down in the purple. It may also be hard to tell from these photos, but when I arrived at the dance circle, it was incredibly easy to spot the other 13 students. We don't blend in much, especially when we're all together.



The drummer is in the circle, on the right, and that's Fatou in the middle teaching us all a few lessons.
