    That was Beautiful. I don't really care who started this dance, but I love seeing my young brothers in a positive way. There is nothing like taking your gifts and doing something productive with it. Keep up the good work gentleman.
    Also the negative feedback from arguing amongst each other is not call for. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. If you have negative feedback from looking at this video stop watching it and move to the next video that's it. Its sad that when young people are trying to do something positive with their lives we have people who stepped in and just have to say something negative about it. Can't win for losing but I definitely support my brothers, may the Lord continue to bless and guide you all

    300 years apart- and 3.000,00 ocean miles away from the continent of Africa, it is amazingly beautiful how much of the motherland still lives on to this very day in African-Americans. As an Ethiopian it makes me proud beyond what words can describe. From Africa With Love.
