A SEGMENT FROM
UMFULA WA MA DADA
(SWAN LAKE)
2009 

Choreographed by and starring Dada Masilo. 

A cultural twist on SWAN LAKE. watch it, it’ll inspire you.
The moment I watched this I instantly had to re-watch it..again and again and again. Masilo is simply brilliant. Her effortlessly artful combination of classical European ballet structure with that of African dance makes you wish this was done more often.  

EXACTLY what I was just thinking - why is this not done more often?? So much grace and rhythm.

And clearly Tutus are PERFECT for African dance styles!

This is everything. She is so beautiful.

Way cool.
