Ghana Learns To Dance – Tangoing twosome, they wanted a gay evening, so they dressed up to the nines, took a taxi to a night club and here they are, on the floor, letting themselves go to the exciting music of a happy tango. Foxtrot, tango, waltz, cha cha cha, rock n' roll; it does not matter what is the dance, or whether it is simple or complicated, you can be pretty certain that somewhere in Accra someone is trying to learn the steps. Yes, ballroom dancing is the craze, and everyone's in the swing. If you pop in at any of Accra's night clubs in the early evening, before the real show show of the night comes on, you will find scores of people on the open floor going through a series of amazing movements. And you will find they are learning to dance.
