Charming traditional dance of Zimbabwe

Photo and text: Shepherd Tozvireva in Harare, Zimbabwe
Dance is intimately linked to music and performance in traditional society. Even in contemporary popular music, group dance is often a large part of the performance. Dance also appears as a genre of its own, and here the links to tradition can take different forms.
Like many African countries, Zimbabwe can boast of some interesting but energy demanding traditional dances. One such group is from the Air force of Zimbabwe, which entertains the general public during national festivities and ceremonies associated with Heroes Day and Independence Day among others.
