Oh hell yes.

Here's a much more positive review (or, a response to Rockwell's piece and then some, I should say) - actually a thoughtful, critical review and not a reactive tirade! Note that John Rockwell is a white man and Eva Yaa Asantewaa is a black woman.

Also note that those "spiky tresses" are mine!

Eva Yaa Asantewaa has written on dance since 1974

Will there be a video of the performance available online ever? It sounds fantastic.

I hope you are doing marvelously.

Holy crap I don't really know anything about the dance other than the stuff I've heard from you or seen in the pictures and already I can tell that mister stick-up-his-ass is dumb, dumb dumb and has some serious issues with real women. I'm glad you got a good review from someone more enlightened.
