Gumboot Dancers

An energetic South African welcome by this stunning Proudly South African Gumboot Dancing act!

This dance originated here in South Africa, as a way of communicating to each other by different stamps while they worked in the mines and as such is commonly used as a story based dance about labourers. As the miners wore wellington boots (gumboots) the dance is always performed in them, usually with overalls.

As it is a South African act, this dance is perfect for welcoming your guests in from other countries, to African themed parties and Heritage Day.
