Ndlamu

Dancers line up facing an audience while singers and drummers build a driving rhythm.

Each dancer takes a turn stepping forward to perform a powerful high kick, snapping the leg straight up in time with the beat.

Precise timing and a controlled landing are prized more than kick height alone.

The group answers each solo kick with synchronized stomping and clapping before the next dancer steps up.

The performance builds in energy as more dancers take their turn, closing with a full group routine.
