Men’s Fancy Dance

Men's Fancy DanceKnown for their stamina, strength, fast and fancy footwork and wearing brilliantly colored outfits, these dancers truly dazzle.

Their outfits are made up of two multi-coloured bustles which are coordinated with beaded moccasins, cuffs, headbands and aprons. 

Men's fancy dancers are extremely fit and coordinated and are true “showstoppers” which their showmanship, lightning fast reflexes and timing, innovative footwork and spins.

Sometimes, drums and dancers engage in a little friendly competition with a "trick song" to see if the dancer knows the song well enough to stop on time.
