I always get this question: Why are you wearing that? What's a lappa. Well here you go a lappa is a wrap around skirt that you wear. Lappas are traditionally worn in West Africa. Okay I used to take African Dance I haven't been to class lately because of transportation reasons. I've been doing african dance since I was about 8. I love it its good exercise too. Out of all the dance styles I have experience with this is one of my favorites! I will post a video of me soon dancing. My little brother used to take drum lessons. When we african dance we have bare feet we never wear shoes your suppossed to feel the earth and its a celebration,or a wedding or whatever the cause may be. We dance to live drums none of the recorded or taped stuff! Thats another reason why I love it its live real you can hear and feel the drum in your chest every beat! I could go on about this. I wore a lappa yesterday my one of many! I got a few looks and stares but I dont care I love wearing my lappa wether its in class or out of class! One day I'll post a video of one of my african dances and you'll get to see my little bro drumming. Enjoy =)
