The Dance

by TE Dora

Overview

In school one day, Faith, a young American girl, learns of Ndidi and Obi, two young lovers who were separated a day before their wedding.
Ndidi was an African princess. She was practicing her wedding dance by a river, when she was grabbed by slave catchers. Obi her betrothed tried to rescue her, but was captured as well. According to legend, if the wedding dance was not performed, the betrothed couple was doomed for all eternity, never to be united.
Faith wished to reunite the two lovers and in her dance class, performed a beautiful and powerful dance. Her stirring performance enabled the tragic lovers, centuries later, to finally rest in peace.
In its lyrical and poignant portrayal of love and loss, despair and joy, The Dance is both a coming of age story and a haunting retelling of a great human tragedy in a simple, yet profound way young people and adults can appreciate.
