La Reine Rive
Adapted to give the
dance some ‘Trini’ home flavour, although
Caribbean in origin.
Bele - A dance performed in Dominica from the
earliest arrival of West Africans to the island.
Of all the folk dances it has the strongest
African roots and has its origins in festivals
associated with mating and fertility. A male and
female (in Creole, the "Cavalier" and the "Dam")
display each others dance skills and singing in
the form of chants led by a "chantuelle" with
the refrain or "lavway" given by a chorus of
spectators. The French adapted the name of the
dance to "Belaire".
A beauty in white, symbolic to its pure state.
This dance is known throughout the Caribbean.
