Description: The Ilala dance started, they say, irr 1957 in the Fort Johnstone district. It is danced by youths standing in rows or circles and shaking their shoulders forwards and backwards and thrusting out their chins in time with the syncopation of the Mudewa drums. This action requires great suppleness of the neck and upper spine to perform effectively. The movement is disntinctive to Ilala and is niether like the rippling of the Xhosa of the shaking of the Chopi dancers.
