Watch Ciara Dance in the Streets of Nigeria

March 6, 2016

Ciara
recently visited Nigeriaand managed to do some authentic Nigerian dancing before heading home. The resulting video is both gorgeous and totally joyful.

In the clip, we see Ciara barefoot in the streets of Lagos, performing a dance choreographed by local star Kafayat Shafau-Ameh that incorporates traditional African styles. She’s joined by her dancers Saidah Nairobi (who was recently seen killing it at the Super Bowl alongside Queen Bey) and Lilly Leithner, as well as Shafau-Ameh’s dancers Tessy Denny and Rebby Sexie.

Here’s how Ciara captioned the film on Facebook:

“UNREAL!! #Dancing, Vibing, and Learning #Nigerian Dance In the Streets of #Lagos! #DolphinEstates. I Couldn’t Leave Without Doing this! The Soul, The Culture, The Passion Here Is Unreal!! Thank You For Opening Up Your Neighborhood To Me and My Dancers and Letting Us Feel Your soul! #Africa”

It’s perfect #MotivationMonday viewing:
