Guedra: Tuareg trance dance of blessing
Presented by Zimra.
The Guedra is a ritual dance of the Tuareg ("Blue People") of North Africa. The ritual is a combination of chanting, rhythmic clapping, and dancing, where the dancer, using gestures of the hands and arms, sends collected "good energy" out to the gathered people, the group, and the world.
This will be a modified version of a traditional Guedra. All ages and genders are welcome. Bring something to sit on, and come prepared to clap and chant.
