I sense a little tribalism brewing in the comments section. This is how they divide and conquer us. Doesn’t matter where its from just grab your brother’s hand and dance to the rhythm.

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.

[@graceupongraceampofo7769]

When it comes to dancing, its always GHANA. But there are some Congo moves that are interesting.

[@gideonanokye6192]

the "skelewu" dance originated from ghana by 5five in the video "move back" not by davido

[@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?

[@silelowilfred8465]

-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.

[@JMBBrasil]

Glad to see Angola on the list!

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.
