The gumboots group
What is gumboots?
Gumboots is a
south african dance. It has been developed by the miners
during the Apartheid. It was their only way to communicate with each
others while working in the mines: using their boots. It has become a
traditional dance in South Africa. In this dance, we use the boots to
make both the rythm and the dance.
It has become popular worldwide after a group made a tour all over the world. See their website.
Amaqhawé was a group in the African dance school Afrique en mouvement.
