    8:51 its actually 'zekhethe' not 'woza'. Amapiano is genre not dance style. you've missed 'pantsula' and 'thuso phala'

    I sense a little tribalism brewing in the comments section. This is how they divide and conquer us. Doesn’t matter where its from just grab your brother’s hand and dance to the rhythm.

    -Bhenga dance which was famous in the gqom days
    -Sjepa
    -Woza dance is actually called zekhethe
    -Pantsula dance style
    -Nayi le walk
    - Thuso phala
    -Amapiano is a whole genre with many dance styles or techniques e.g the pouncing cat which is really the first real dance to describe the amapiano movement. Then there other dances like Baleka, survivor, mlume, zekhethe, "shi shi" and various footwork usually freestyles by any dancer
    **note these are just some of the most Impactful dance moves from South Africa I can remember.
