Zusammenfassung:	The isolation of the Sea Islands, which lie off the coasts of Ga & SC, has helped to preserve the African influence in many communities. Dance & rhythmic movement are part of daily life for all ages, not reserved for special occasions. Some dances & children's games are described & traced to their roots in West Africa. The Sea Islanders' dances & games portray aspects of their culture in miniature, & are an important part of teaching the children to be adult members of the group. 21 References. S. McAneny
