I thought I should open a thread on how to identify SA tribes by their dance moves just so that you don't have to assume that every SA traditional dance you see it's Zulu dance...  .. Because most of y'all only know about the Zulus.1. I'll start with Zulu, so you guys can check and compare...  .. Zulu dance involves a lot of high kicks and sometimes they'd even throw themselves on the floor, if you can do high kicks, then learning the Zulu dance shouldn't be difficult... It's more like traditional aerobics.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB37tnlKllc?si=D76_qIVCcORyJ71i https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HT7csqqsCc?si=rsqqsDzTc7OVPKHj 2. Swati.. Their dance moves are more laid back and reserved, the ladies would usually dance holding large knives and shields while the men would dance holding Spears and shields. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLuYD0wc5ug?si=TX5k4AfGyRKMIb7- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiUCOU0g2eA?si=L6OXYh5fuDBHm7zY 3. Basotho... With Sotho people, they mainly focus on moving their shoulders when dancing.. .. Sothos in the house, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong... Their ladies would sometimes dance while on their knees and their men would be holding long sticks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ckW5pOAjRE?si=Vvmnw3-2RpvPxFAD 4. Xhosa... Their dance moves involve a lot of stomping on the floor/ground barefoot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ASMJVonDl0?si=HoQ9e8RvDgncOPPS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc1gL9l1uP8?si=Q-FVPaWeiQPofuTf 5. Tsonga... With Tsonga dance, one has to move the waist a lot and with the ladies, they have to shake that xhibelani( traditional Tsonga skirt), apparently you're a Tsonga by mistake if you can't move your waist... .. Sho Modjozi's Tsonga traditional music dance would make a great example for this one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt1EJ4SH07E?si=FSjIGRE9BZFzqM81 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jkXL_TMEig?si=UTwOdq_HHTiQoz5T 6. Batswana... I don't care what others may think, but Batswana are the best South African traditional dancers in my opinion... When they dance, they usually bend over a bit, make use of their hands a lot( especially with the ladies), make facial expressions, and stomp the floor with their creative dance steps... It's like their dance moves always have a story to tell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEPgLS9mQvE?si=QxPbrU9HmM8s_Pdh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va06tKKKNd8?si=W9wIPi3GDVe5ngmk 7. Sepedi tribe... With us the Pedis, we're all over the place... .. we do a lot of kicking, back and forth, going left and right, up and down, and running around ( if necessary) .. Sometimes we would lift our hands into the air like we're praying.. Our dance moves are like the contemporary dance done in a quicker pace... Sometimes we would dance in a slower and reserved pace, you just can't predict us... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fQm39DiSlY?si=vcAX_Z775CTWuFCu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Cg-6Wx4g-I?si=GLpxib1ntiLIkuxd 8. Ndebele tribe... I'm not gonna lie, I don't know much about the Ndebele tribe, but their dance moves seem like a combination of the Swati and Zulu dance because their ladies' dance moves are more reserved like the Swatis while the men's dance moves involve some high kicks like the Zulus... They love blowing whistles too, I just remembered from the time I used to watch traditional music shows with my grandparents... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2fGk2dmMs8?si=_9-_A2eyyuCD3pjd 9. Last but not least, the Venda tribe... The Venda dance involves a lot of jumping up and down and it seems like their dance moves are a bit aggressive, but not in a bad way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTaHLgcf4Bc?si=hkr2iGDBUcdyZRas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CnqvDxIPgE?si=IntgrMh_1ufslYsR My apologies to the Khoisan people in case they come across this thread, for I couldn't find any videos of their dance moves. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

They are all very beautiful,amazingly beautiful indeed ! If I have to choose one however,I'll go for those Xhosa girls. Their dance moves,the sounds,the rhythms; everything is such a delight to behold ! The Zulus,their men especially, must be very good in military parades ! Their energetic military parade-like dance moves is awesome ! Many thanks for creating this beautiful thread, I truly enjoyed it. I've always been attracted to SA's traditional songs and dances. I'm always thrilled each time I listen to a traditional Zulu or Xhosa song and even some others that I can't really identify. They are all always very amazing. Shout out to the beautiful people of SA,the rainbow nation ! 16 Likes |

Nice thread! ... I watched the first one only ... Zulu dancers .... still digesting it! Any such authentic African dance troupe hit the US ... or enter a talent show like America Got Talent ...it will bring the house down. We need to promote our talent... our culture and stop trying to imitate others. 9 Likes |

That's right, we also have Miss and Mr cultural SA festival whereby each group from all SA tribes come to compete with each other. The groups must each have a male and a female leader which are referred to as the king and the queen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK5WFvZDHPs?si=3QPFCNFyS-jGs0PM Originalsly: 3 Likes |

So Samantha124 among all these dances which one are you good at? Because i don't believe you know how to dance. |

Sepedi dance of course, why? Because I'm a Mopedi. The Sotho dance isn't difficult too... As long as I can move my shoulders, then the rest is nothing. And again with the Swati dance, all I need is a large kitchen knife and a shield, their dance steps don't seem difficult. And with the Tsongas, I'll first need a xhibelani to test if I can shake it... JONSYN7154: 2 Likes |
