Kenya The Adumu

The Maasai tribe in Kenya and Tanzania have a famous welcoming dance called the Adumu. It is a warrior's jumping dance, the warriors have to jump as high as they can without letting their heels touch the ground. It is a dance to show off power and strength. The hard ground in Kenya is very dusty, and the Masai don't like their feet to get dirty, this is why the dance says you can't put your heels on the ground. The dance is done by males with women chanting in the background.
