- Description
- The women of the Xhosa have special dances of their own, rather static, as might be expected of a people who live in a climate which can be very cold and wet, where most dancing must be done inside the huts to avoid the constant winds from the sea which drive over the downs. (Women dance for dancing at night inside the hut, with clapping.
