Why Zulu dance matters
Zulu dance holds deep cultural meaning, traditionally serving as a powerful form of storytelling and cultural expression.
These dances are performed during important ceremonies and celebrations, showcasing strength, agility, and the rich heritage of the Zulu people through movements that have been passed down through generations.
Expert, Penny Holburn, spoke to Briefly News and shared her insight on multicultural couples:
