Diski Dance
The word ''diski'' is slang for soccer in South Africa, but is also used to describe the local style of football, which is known for its fluid movements and emphasis on dribbling and other tricks.
There are no words to go with the dance, but it can be punctuated with the occasional call of ''Laduma'', a victory cry at South African soccer matches, which means ''he thunders'' in Zuluhttp://www.southafrica.info/video/diski-dance1.htm
