THERE’S a new dance revolution taking the country by storm – the 2010 Diski Dance. South African Tourism has encouraged residents to learn the moves ahead of the 2010 Fifa World Cup.
The dance is based on the unique way in which South Africans play soccer, “rhythmically, somewhat showy, but never boring”.
Spear-headed by SA Tourism, the dance was devised for an international television advert aimed at highlighting South Africa’s readiness to host the World Cup. It was screened globally on CNN, BBC, National Geographic, Eurosport, Sky News Sport and many more.
The dance comprises five major steps derived from soccer moves, including a juggle, a header, Table Mountain (flattening the back to keep the ball behind the head), Trepa (flicking the ball from behind the neck, over the head and onto the foot) and the Bridge (passing the ball over the left foot with the right foot and back again).
Also, consider booking Mzansi 2010 Kenako. Pure entertainment that talks about celebrating the power of Madiba's Magic since 1990 right up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The show contains diverse cultural dimensions, South African popular songs like Shosholoza and Hambanathi mkhululiwethu and it also incorporates performing arts such as our ancient storytelling and indigenous Zulu dances through history through to the beginning of the mining era gumboot dancing. The finale is a high-energy inter-active demonstration and teaching of the 2010 Diski Dance.
