Original Toronto Star caption: Masai Missile shoots skyward at a village tribal dance just a few miles from Nairobi. Dancers; tall to start with; propel themselves without appearing to bend their knees in weird jump-ups. The dancing is done to the accompaniment of chanting as the Masai have developed no music and no tribal art. They stubbornly resist change and live the same nomadic existence as their ancestors and retain old tribal dress.
