lotta good picture in this blog. many i've seen before. however, this one surprised me. i've never seen this dance before. wondering if anyone knows what it is? and if it has any relation to the jumping dances the masai do?

They still jump. Look at the traditional dances. All pastrolists do jump. It is a sign of supremacy. Jumping higher than other human beings, fire and livestock.

Farmers don't jump. The beerey and kabeebey provide good illustrations.
