Wodaabe Flirting

On the Discovery Channel is a show called Human Planet. This show looks at different cultures all over the world and documents them. One of the videos I found interesting is a video clip about the Wodaabe culture. The Wodaabe have a festival where the men of the tribe dress up and try to impress the women of the tribe. The women are very critical looking at height, teeth, singing, dancing and posture. They dance for five hours to prove themselves to the women. There are three judges and at the end of the 5 hours they choose their man.
