- Description
- The Mohobelo dance is most typical of all Sotho dances and is notable for its sinous striding actions which are accompanied by rhythmic hissing and by stamping. The dance songs are performed by the spectators and not the dancers. There are frequently two or three movements or routines in a Mohobelo, a slow entry and dance, follwed by a fast leaping movement and frequently by a third slow routine. Each is given a local mane, often the name of the district of origin. Mohobelo men's dance with stamping.
