This video introduced me to something I'd never seen or heard about before -- Gumboot dancing. I can only imagine J-burg miners rehearsing new numbers 100 years ago. Terrific!

Simple yet powerful, this video relives the history of miners who struggled but kept themselves culturally alive with the creation of their own dance. Excellent video with no words required.

One may say... the introduction of footwear has greatly impacted the local culture to the brink of developing a new cultural art.

There will always be a new emerging culture depending what factors are introduced into the local environment and the adapting inhabitants.

Personally, I have never seen this one until now. Very interesting to know different cultural aspects from Africa.
