Also featuring Waleed Abdulhamid.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s story, or celebrating major events, the dances of Ethiopia are sheer expressions of joy in intense isolations and rhythms. In this performance, 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 \u2013 shoulders, chest, neck with subtle footwork somewhat imitating the grace of birds.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"post-meta-key\">DATE:<\/span> Saturday, February 5, 2011<br \/>\n<span class=\"post-meta-key\">VENUE:<\/span> Lakeside Terrace, Harbourfront Centre, Toronto<br \/>\n<span class=\"post-meta-key\">FREE FREE FREE!!!<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"post-meta-key\">INFO:<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harbourfrontcentre.com\/kuumba\/events.cfm?id=2729\" target=\"new\">Harbourfront Centre<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrate Black History Month with us at the Harbourfront Centre\u2019s Kuumba Festival.
