Different godesses

Today I learnt a dance which each move represented a goddess.

Yemanja is the goddess of the sea, the dynamics for this is very smooth and gentle with the arms, waving / moving like the sea, performing up and down gently to the music

Iansa - is goddess of 'Oya'

Xango - is the goddess of thunder therefore the dynamics are heavy and big making sure your performance is using up the whole space.

Osayn - is the goddess of herbalist , the dynamics were gentle, looking like I was planting seeds in the ground, alot of the dynamics interpreted my hands for this performance.

I found this very interesting and had never heard of this before , so in the first week my range and vocabulary was expanding positively already.
