South Africa’s official tourism promotion agency has set out to capture the nation’s spirit in a dance, the Diski Dance. Diski is common in South African slang for the game of football and is a uniform routine that showcases the nation’s passion for the sport. The concept of the Diski Dance is to show the country’s welcoming spirit as a nation. The dance has been endorsed by FIFA as the official dance of the 2010 World Cup.

 Choreographer, Wendy Ramokgadi, is the original choreographer of the Diski Dance.
