Maasai Jumping Dance Ceremony in Dar es Salaam Hall

by Ann Erickson

Tropical light floods a high-ceilinged ceremonial hall in Dar es Salaam, illuminating a group of Maasai dancers mid-leap. Their red shukas and beaded necklaces stand out against the muted tones of the concrete floor and walls. Outside the large open bays, a light drizzle blurs the green savanna landscape visible in the distance, suggesting the rainy season. Water droplets bead on the metal roof beams overhead, catching the late afternoon sun. The dancers' bare feet and muscular legs are frozen in dynamic motion, their traditional jewelry glinting in the bright, humid air. A wet patch on the floor reflects the red fabric of a shuka, at the base of the movement in the physical space.
