The Tobas is a folk dance from Bolivia. The folkloric dance of the Tobas speaks of the ancient past of Bolivia. It has roots in a time when the Incas were the predominant force in the Andean highlands region. Tobas is an athletic dance comprising agile steps accentuated with many jumps and bounds. ==History== The Tobas were a tribe of warriors who lived in the Chaco region of Bolivia. When the Incas came to conquer them, they were amazed by the rich culture of fierce warriors that they encountered. The Incas greatly admired the Tobas dance and they were taken from their Amazonian homeland by the Emperor Tupac Yupanqui. The dance and music of the Tobas has been reinterpreted by subsequent people of Bolivia like the Aymara and the Mestizos. Today, Tobas is a prominent part of the annual carnivals. (Like the Carnaval de Oruro or the (Bolivian Festival ) in Virginia.) The Tobas dance culture is not only being kept alive in Bolivia, but also by various groups in Virginia ((Centro Cultural Bolivia ) or (CCB )), Sweden (Centro Cultural Bolivia Norrkoping & (Bolivia Kommittén Norrkoping )) and Australia ((Bolivia Marka )). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tobas (dance)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
