He made a name for himself as part of the legendary dancing troupe The Rare Watts that was a national sensation during the 1990s with their Maasai influenced dance moves. Now, dancer and choreographer Anuang’a Fernando is bringing his dance right back to the roots, as it were, with an upcoming show called “Maasai Footsteps.”
“I am bringing the modern choreography to the traditional song and dance so when it finally gets on stage it will retain traditional elements while occupying space in a modern way to illustrate the development of Maasai movement,” says Fernando.
