Experiencing the Joyous Embera Dance in Panama

The Embera tribe is an indigenous people of Panama. I had the pleasure of spending time with them during one of my visits to Panama.

One of the things that struck me the most about their culture was their joyful approach to life, and one of the ways they express this joy is through their dance.

The Embera believe that dance is a way to connect with the spirit world. Through movement, they are able to express the joy that they feel in their hearts. Dancing is also a way for them to come together as a community and celebrate their culture.
