Our trip to Cote d'Ivoire can be safely called ethnographic. Not even three days of stay in the country had passed, and for the third time we were offered to watch local dances. In the Ivorian city of Korhogo, we witnessed fiery acrobatic "panther" dances performed perfectly by local boys. [youtube]0DDegAdVGXk[/youtube]
The boys put on panther costumes. They were led by Jaguar.

These dances are difficult acrobatic exercises performed to authentic musical accompaniment.

Of course, all this is more interesting to watch on video. Not all episodes of performances are included in the video below. Therefore, I suggest to watch them separately.[youtube]SbFIC3Q4198[/youtube]
