[ Index of Vodoun
Drum Rhythms & Dances ]

It is in the dance that Vodoun touches most closely to the mystical, for every motion
that the dancer performs is a magical metaphor for the invisible world, and it is no
wonder that spirits arrive most often during the dance. For the divine recognizes itself
and is drawn into the eternal movement of the dance. |
