Recently, a group of Tanzanian women has set the internet ablaze with their vibrant dance moves. If you’ve seen the video, you’re likely among the two million viewers who were captivated and perhaps excited by the sight of these energetic women shaking their hips with remarkable enthusiasm.

Twerking has roots in the traditional West African dance known as “Mapouka,” which translates to “the butt dance.” Originally performed during religious and festive occasions, it was once banned in Ivory Coast due to its provocative nature. However, as it spread to other regions, twerking became a global sensation in the dance world.
Netizens have playfully flooded the comments seeking Tanzania ticket prices after being entertained by the viral twerking video by the country’s ladies.
