The dance which involves clapping and then pulling a move similar to that of Usain Bolt has been dubbed the “Kempton Clap” on YouTube, where many videos of South Africans have been shared online.

The teachers from the school, Laerskool Danie Malan, did the dance on their sports day back in 2017, performing the moves to the song, a Euro-house number named “Samsara” by Tungevaag & Rabaan.

According to the blog site, the original song was launched in 2015 but gained increased popularity last year.
