How does French photographer Michelle Yu Yue describe the "tree dance" of African blacks?

Michelle described the process of the dance: people who were ready to join the dance came one after another ... The whole Farley tribe lined up in a long line along the foot of the mountain and danced "tree dance" around the trees. Everyone in the neighboring village was locked up and came to watch. ..... Slowly, the dance began to show organized norms. Every dancer has stood in the designated position, and in these collective ceremonies, every independent person can become a star who can show himself to the maximum extent, which is very rare. Only a large number of masked dancers-no one knows who is dancing below them-occupy the dominant position, but like everyone else, they must obey the whole dance process and rhythm, which is dominated by music step by step.
