The dance was beautiful, and I can never believe how dramatic and astonishing traditional Zulu dancing is. Many say Zulu dancing is the best in Africa!! Thank you for the video!

mchigubu (1 year ago) Show Hide +1 Marked as spam Reply | Spam Excellent! I have never been to South Africa, however, one of my aunts came from South Africa and she was Zulu! She passed away last year, and when I saw this video, I learned the other side of my aunt's history that I never got to know when she was alive, or when she was married to my uncle! I know she used to have her Zulu-Zimbabwean friends call her "Madhebhe" maybe from Hadebe as totem! Long live Zulu wedding dance! Amandla! Thanks for posting this video! What rich African heritage!

Trinivalist (1 year ago) Show Hide +1 Marked as spam Reply | Spam congratulations! I've been looking into African dance for a while now... my family is from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. Just tracing my African roots. I know most of the dances have meaning behind them. Can you tell me what the movements mean in this particular dance? I've always loved watching Zulu dances. I actually want to learn to speak and dance Zulu one day. Can you help?

SHAMANDREAMKEEPER (1 year ago) LOVE LOVE LOVE the JAGUAR pelts ! As a woman I would rather wear the jaguar pelts than get married : )

****
sanval1a (1 year ago) Well, given that jaguars are indigenous to the Americas, it's more likely that they are leopard skins which along with many other aspects of African culture & people are very beautiful.

sarryface (4 months ago) why must issues of race always come into the conversation? i agree, just enjoy the video!

blueberrytreat (4 months ago) Majority of these comments are irrelevant!? about race? about hair? about beauty? Posh.. you guys are ridiculous. Can you watch the video and appreciate it or you can YOUTUBE another video w/ that your satisfied.

I loved the skill of some of the dancers! I wonder at the meanings behind the motions, most dances of this nature tell a story. I'd love to know more.

CrayfishDude (1 month ago) Pretty Zulu Girls is quite correct! You are very beautiful people. Thank you for giving us a very small example of your cultural identity. Perhaps you can think of other parts of the Zulu culture that can displayed on the web too! This is wonderful!

ResearchKnowledge123 (2 weeks ago Awesome! Love the highstepping dancing. Is that a real Zulu Village? Everything looks so perfect. Very Beautiful and picturesque. The huts look perfect as well. It looks like a stage.

torontocape (2 weeks ago) this is a cultural center. it is highly unlikely that these people live there. it is merely for show. in all probability they live in a "location". so, what you is not authentic. it's their version of "disney". go there and you'll find out....

guracha200 (2 weeks ago) This is good.
