DANCING TUTORIAL

Today I will be talking about dancing tutorials. I am a big fan of dancing, I love it to my finger tips and I like dancing each time I hear music even while walking on the streets. I usually go clubbing just so I can dance. And so u decided to do a tutorial on some two African dance. There are complicated ways of dancing the styles I am going to be showing you here but I will like to go with the basics so we all can learn

1- GWARA GWARA

This Gwara Gwara dance is an Africa dance that originated from South Africa. It is a dance that showcase the local gulf game of south Africa. I first heard about this game/sports in a South African film called Mr Bones. The dance became very popular in the year 2016 to 2019 as it was dance all over the African planet. It is a beautiful dance and I love it so much.

Below are the basic steps to dancing the kwara kwara dance

  • Step one. The first step of the dance is to bend down a little. Don't go down too low. This posture is very important because it keeps you in a stage of hitting the gulf ball.

  • Step two. The next step open your hands like you want to fly but make sure the left hand is slanting and below the right hand which is straight. The most active hand during the dance is the right hand.

  • Step three. Step 3 is now the dance proper. Remember the two steps above was to get the right posture of the dance. The kwara kwara dance involved moving your Right leg and hands in and out at the same time. That is when your right hand is coming down towards your body you take your leg inside and when you are taking your right and up you pull your leg out. The left leg and hands are technically in a constant position for the basic style.
    The below pictures shows in detail.

2- HAPPY LEGS

Another amazing African dance that I am going to be sharing with you is the happy legs. I don't really know where the dance originate from but I mostly see it in Nigerians musics which makes me to come the Conclusion that it is a Nigerian dance. Please correct me if u am wrong.
The basics of this dance is very simple.

  • Step one. This dance is being doing up. As the name goes it is a dance that mostly involves the legs. It's a back and forth movement of the legs. So to dance the the happy leg basic, start with your right leg, send it from with you right hand raise to you chase level.

  • Step two. As I earlier mentioned, it's a simple dance and involve back and forth movement of the body. So the next step is to move your left leg Infront while simultaneously taking your right leg behind. You are to move the left side of your body in the same manner as the right side.

In basics, it is important to just do a continuous back and forth of your body while adding different variations to it
