Gumboot Dancers
Johannesburg
Gumboot dancing began in the mines, where mineworkers used their gumboots to create a code so that they could communicate with each other while they worked. From these roots, it evolved into a rich and colourful tradition. Mineworkers would use gumboot dancing as an opportunity to dress up and express themselves.
