As posted on Wikipedia: Pantsula is a syncopated, quick-stepping, low to the ground form of dance which evokes the urban street culture of which it is a part. It is performed by groups of dancers who practice together for many hours each week. It provides a powerful, stylized form of expression. As one pantsula dancer describes it, “we have drive, we are one, we have power, we are young, strong and quick, we have our own style and we are competitive.”
