At the end of community day some Garifuna dancers came and danced for us!  There were the two traditional male drummers, and then the women sang while dancing about five dances.  It was really neat, Dangriga is the Garifuna capital of Belize, and the town wants to be known as the cultural capital of Belize to increase tourism.  But, for tourists to want to come, you need a clean city- which is why the good turn out at the beach clean up was a good sign.
