When a kpelle woman tells you this, “I will dance according to how you beat the drums” make sure you beat the drums accordingly because she will dance just how you beat the drums. If you beat the drums slowly, she will dance slowly. If you beat the drums aggressively, she will dance aggressively. If you stop, she will stop. Once you starts beating the drums again, she will start to dance again, if you beat the drums beautifully, she will dance beautifully that everyone will be beaming of smile and laughter. Even the birds will go silent at the sight of her dancing. Make sure you always beat the drums beautifully, with love, respect, and appreciation because she will dance beautifully with love, respect, and appreciation. And don’t ever let her reach the point where she utters the words “I will dance according to how you beat the drums” you really will have to beat the drums carefully and accordingly or you need to run far far away.
