AFRICAN SOCIAL DANCING
African dance refers mainly to the dance of Sub-Saharan Africa, and more appropriately African dances because of the many cultural differences in musical and movement styles. These dances must be viewed in close connection with Sub-Saharan African music traditions and Bantu cultivation of rhythm. African dance utilizes the concept of as well as total body articulation.

Dances teach social patterns and values and help people work, mature, praise or criticize members of the community while celebrating festivals and funerals, competing, reciting history, proverbs and poetry; and to encounter gods (as it was believed before the modern technology).

African dances are largely participatory, with spectators being part of the performance. With the exception of some spiritual, religious or initiation dances, there are traditionally no barriers between dancers and onlookers. Even ritual dances often have a time when spectators participate.

Traditional dance in Africa occurs collectively, expressing the life of the community more than that of individuals or couples. Early commentators consistently commented on the absence of close couple dancing: such dancing was thought immoral in many traditional African societies.
Tanzania modern music associates with traditional dancing

Although most artists we dance in their music, are very much associate with traditional dancing and they are changing but still use the old styles of dancing and making music. The way of creating particular songs (ALLY KIBA - CHEKECHA song for example) uses the traditional patterns in dancing and presenting his song to audience.
