Pantsula Dancers

Pantsula was birthed in the townships of South Africa in the 1950s. Originally referring to a style of dress, it soon evolved into a cultural expression and later into a dance form. By the 1980s, when the townships were aflame and war had broken out between the Apartheid police and the young men in the area, Pantsula dance was a means of expression for many.
