Bizarre. I really think they were too separated from subsaharan Africa.

This moreso reminds me of dances from the Middle East than black African dances.

It's hard to describe but Ethiopians seem so unusually stiff when dancing. they also seem to throw footwork into the bushes .

Ngl, shyt was VERY unexpected. I watch a good amount of west, central, and south African traditional dancing vids, even Middle Eastern, never thought to look at east Africa. I might have to start cuz, um... are ALL their dances so... differently different? And is it just them?

Just them.

I took several big tours of that region and during my trip i thought the Swahili dances in Tanzania were lit. The luo dances on Kenya's lakeside are lit; and their outfits are fire too. The buganda dances from uganda's lake region remind me of latin dance because of the hip movements. And all these dances emphasize footwork.

They seem inherently black African much like their western, southern and central African equivalents. Very different vibe than those "unique" Ethiopian dances.


Here is that luo dances I mentioned with the dope outfits.



Here is the Swahili dances from Tanzanian coast...




Here is that hip dance they used to do in the royal courts of the old bugandan kingdom




It's hard to describe, but there is something inherently subsaharan African about these dances which Ethiopia is Missing

:russ:I recognize that 'I'm killing this shyt' head tilt anywhere! Auntie was feeling herself.


I been on the Zulu maiden dance wave for a few days now. It looks so much like stepping, right down to the one dancer doing the dance first solo to 'show' the others.

The Gumboot Dance from South Africa is where stepping comes from.
