There is a wide variety of dance styles in Africa, each dance type is distinct because of the cultural differences in melodies and movements. Almost all African dances are accompanied by constant rhythmic music. The African dance is a creative way to raise awareness about the African culture, and also help anyone build self-esteem and musical talent. In Africa, dance has nothing to do with being skilled or not; you just need to feel the beat and start moving.
