indlamu

indlamu

English

Noun

indlamu (uncountable)

  1. A traditional Zulu dance from South Africa in which the dancer lifts one foot over his head and brings it down hard, landing squarely on the downbeat.

      But there was sophistication and beauty in the way that traditional African dance motifs, like the fierce, stamping Zulu indlamu sequences, were woven together with more sinuous abstract movements.
