A Day in the life of a Maasai Village: 7 The Jumping Dance -
A Maasai warrior doing the jump dance. They do a ceremony to mark the coming of age of young Maasai warriors. The jumping dance is also know as Adumu or Aigus, which means "to jump" in their native language. Notice the straight posture and how the heels rarely touch the ground.
