African culture project

Hey bloggers, 

I've got this African theatre event coming up on the 29th to attend and it's got me thinking...

The upcoming event has inspired me to do some research of my own into the African culture. Now being the lover of fashion that I am, i think it would be a really good idea to do an African themed project. I would love to get some snaps of the different style of clothes and patterns which have come from the African culture...after all it's where the Aztec pattern originated from!! 

Please be on the look out for a review I will be posting next month of my African fun night theatre experience. Any updates and ideas on my upcoming project will be posted to my blog soon so STANDBY!!!

Sega Dancers review at the Portlouise bar



Guests were captivated by the moves of the girls, their turns had eyes locked in as their flowy skirts moved to follow every spin, glide and shuffle their bodies created. Who knew that a dance which dates back to slavery days could remain so beautiful today?




Judging by the expressions within the room, it's clear that an appreciation of the Mauritius culture had been embraced  successfully. Sounds of cheer and applause rose from each table at the Portlouise bar as the girls continued to make their mark on this event.



When watching the Sega dancers, it was as if seeing a story being brought to life before your very eyes, one that dates back to the 1960's where Sega first began. The shuffles of their feet helped re-inact the chains in which the slaves were bound to. Desperate to break free, a burst of passion and vibrancy was portrayed as the girls drew energy into each and every move.



The type of steps in which the girls brought to their routine was very bold and eye catching. They would often ruffle their skirts and interact with the crowd which really formed a buzz in the room. You could see that guests were itching to join the girls on the dance floor but at the same time did not want to chance missing a moment of their routine!

The Dj made sure to deliver some of Mauritians finest tunes throughout the evening. During the Sega dancers performance you could really pick out the distinct sounds of: drums, rattles, triangles and a few others infused together. Not only was an Island vibe brought to this Diwali event but also a sense of escapism, as guests found themselves lost in island melodies.


When asked 'What do you love about your job?' Talent agent, Wendy Cummings explained, 'it is great to see a vision play out before your very eyes. With the Sega dancers they provide a sense of escapism which I get lost in whether its at a rehearsal or performance. I have the pleasure of experiencing the great talents which the girls bring forward.' Wendy explained that the dance truly is a form of art and beauty and that this appreciation of such cultural experience is definitely one worth sharing with others.




I truly agree, the dance speaks passion, life and cultural art to its finest! I would definitely love to see the girls perform again as they take a dance which was labelled as 'the music of slaves' and inject heart and soul into the way Sega is delivered today.

Sega Dancers event

Hi all, 
I recently went to a Sega performance as  part of my work experience opportunity which I have fortunately been able to get. 

As part of my experience I will be able to post reviews and pics of some of the fun events ill be attending and post it online for my wonderful readers to feast their eyes on.

Not to give to much away but the evening was definitely filled with excitement, vibrancy and a buzz enough to get you pumped to dance the night away...I Loved it. 

I'll be posting a full review on Friday of the evenings entertainment which was delivered by none other than Entertainment Inc.Please check back and have a read.

 Some of the history behind the Sega dance was also quite interesting to learn about. It is definitely worth having a research but just to sum up the dance goes back to Slavery days where the women danced the Sega whilst bound to foot chains. This allowed them to adapt the shuffle motion which they portray with their feet and  create something truly beautiful. 

But anyways I'm giving it away, be sure to check back on Friday.
