Swahili Cultural Wedding dance traditions -

Cultural wedding dance is a major feature at swahili culture weddings. Rather than the newlywed couple taking centre stage, it is customary for wedding guests to entertain the newlyweds by dancing in front of them. People love to dance, and, its typical at weddings across the world to incorporate dancing of some sort – whether it be to a live band, a DJ or a traditional musial accompaniment. In the Mombasa we commence the evening party with a ‘first dance’ performed by the newlywed couple, but in some cultures, dancing traditions can take quite a different approach. Above, I share wedding dancing traditions taken from cultures around the globe. Many many Thanks from ALHAS. Follow me on my Instagram:   / alhasphotography
