Zaouli

A performer takes the center of a circle formed by drummers and spectators.

As the drums build speed, the performer executes fast, precise footwork that mirrors the beat.

Spectators clap and call out encouragement, especially when the performer nails a particularly quick sequence.

Other performers may take turns in the center, each trying to match or outdo the previous dancer's footwork.

The crowd's cheers and reactions informally decide whose performance was the most impressive.
