[@kgarebeyamopedi2693]

8:51 its actually 'zekhethe' not 'woza'. Amapiano is genre not dance style. you've missed 'pantsula' and 'thuso phala'

[@ohafro]

AWESOME! Thanks for pointing this out.

[@kgarebeyamopedi2693]

No other continent compares to Africa when it comes to Dance and Music. Although our Jamaican cousins are a very close 2nd to us.

You forgot the Pantsula dance from South Africa. It was also used by Beyonce on Run the World (Girls) (Official Video). It is a popular dance which originated in the townships of South Africa.

[@johnbanks3835]

Love the dances and the moves along with the music

[@ThePotatoad]

I can't wait to get my strength back. I'm going to practice these moves, they look so easy now that I finally learned to just loosen my body and FEEL the music when dancing! Doing them in my bed right now, as best I can lol.

-Bhenga dance which was famous in the gqom days -Sjepa -Woza dance is actually called zekhethe -Pantsula dance style -Nayi le walk - Thuso phala -Amapiano is a whole genre with many dance styles or techniques e.g the pouncing cat which is really the first real dance to describe the amapiano movement. Then there other dances like Baleka, survivor, mlume, zekhethe, "shi shi" and various footwork usually freestyles by any dancer **note these are just some of the most Impactful dance moves from South Africa I can remember.

[@DD18913]

I'm Nigerian and legwork is very common for me but I'm most best doing shaku shaku and party with a jagaban hehe also getting sturdy

[@mr.t9096]

Now the question starts. You have only covered the music of a few African countries, and you left out a huge chunk of the continent. What did a frog say about the size of the sky while sitting at the bottom of a pond?

[@baeisfood]

of course there are more dances from other countries in Africa. But this is about the ultimate dances..

[@kimerafrank1782]

Do you even know to count?

[@moore1523]

Of course. Africa has always had dances but Azonto from Ghana is the very first widely used international trend that continues to this day. But be careful saying that because there will be people who were or were not privy to this info and will attack you for saying so.
