This group is performing "Taratibu," a South African dance that combines military drill movements with African traditions. This kind of cultural expression is front and center at this year's Smithsonian Folklife Festival.
Arla Scott directs the dance company. She says these teenagers are learning about their roots.
"Taratibu teaches their history. It teaches respect for each other, respect for your community and for your elders. And it shows the young people that they have to work as a community and not individually in order for us to make it as African Americans in this country."
This part of the Folklife Festival celebrates the creativity of African American neighborhoods in the southeast corner of the nation's capital. It highlights the connections among residents and how they pass along traditions through dance, art and music.这些演员正唱歌跳舞来展示非洲的传统文化。这些传统文化深深扎根于华盛顿的东南部黑人社区。
这群人正在表演“塔拉提布”，一种融合了军事训练动作和非洲传统的南非舞蹈，这种形式的文化表达是今年的史密森民间艺术节的中心。
安拉•斯科特管理这支舞蹈团。她说这些青少年正在了解他们的文化之根。
“塔拉提布向他们传授历史，教他们互相尊重，并且敬重自己的社区和长辈。塔拉提布教育这些年青一代团结起来而不是各自为政，因为只有团结起来才能使我们在这个国家成功地成为非裔美国人。”
民间艺术节的这一部分是为了赞美在这个国家首都东南角的黑人社区居民的创造力。艺术节强调了社区居民之间剪不断的关系，以及他们是如何通过舞蹈、艺术和音乐来传承传统文化。
