Why is the traditional dance in Africa simple and rude? Quick, quick, quick.

African traditional dance originates from life and permeates it. Every time we get married, mourn, celebrate, come of age, welcome guests, fight, work, worship gods, ancestors, festivals and leisure, Africans will express their emotions, love and hate and all kinds of homesickness through dance. It can be said that there would be no life in Africa without dancing. Without dance, African culture will be eclipsed.

Every African tribe has its own unique traditional dance, but they all have the same characteristics: simple and rough style, lively and powerful rhythm and passionate feelings. The movements of African dances are mostly rapid and large-scale body movements such as twisting and swinging of the waist, abdomen and buttocks, such as bending and stretching, rotating and prancing. The less delicate feelings are expressed through eyebrows, wrists and toes.
