ABOUT ESKESTA: Being one of the oldest civilizations of Africa, Ethiopia is a land of many cultures which give its music and dances a rich texture. Whether depicting every day life, telling the people’s story, or celebrating major events, the dances of Ethiopia are sheer expressions of joy in intense isolations and rhythms. In this workshop, you will learn the basics of the eskesta dance. Eskesta is a popular dance in Ethiopia, originating from the Amhara people. It is a dance of isolations and shimmies, mostly in the upper body – shoulders, chest, neck with subtle footwork somewhat imitating the grace of birds.
