Description / content note
-
The Ilala dance started, they say in 1957 in the Fort Johnstone district. It is performed by youth standing in rows or circles and shaking their shoulders forwards and backwards and thrusting out their chins in time with syncopation of the Mudewa drums. This action requires great suppleness of the neck and upper spine to perform effectively. The movement is distinctive to Ilala and is neither like the rippling of the Xhosa or the shaking of the Chopi dancers. Ilala dance with two drums (Mudewa and Kachisi).
