Mani (Baile del)

Mani (Baile del): This combat dance, similar to a martial art, developed in the 19th Century among slaves on the sugar plantations. This activity is meant only for men: they form a circle with the dancer in the middle, who begins to make movements imitating combat and chooses one of the men forming the circle. The chosen "adversary" then enters the circle and both "rivals" make movements in harmony that are halfway between dance and fighting movements.
