German Dance Style here
Tough to start this living in Germany, we are not extremely famous for our body movement capabilities as such but Germany has some local dance styles - I am showing you the Schuhplattler. The first one here is the extended the version, the so called "Schuhplattler Holzhacker Tanz".
This is a typical German dance - mainly performed in Bavaria (but also in Austria to be honest and fair). The locals usually wear traditional Bavarian costumes. The dance was originally used to woe women into marrying a man. While the dance men are clapping their hands and are slapping their thighs while jumping up and down with the rhythm of the music. Looks funny for people from abroad, even for Germans not living in Bavaria. The dance is still or again popular especially amongst youngsters, who love its colorful costumes and its bouncing, leaping, kicking and choreographed horseplay.

I live in the Netherlands and I would like share the Dutch traditional dance. The video has all the details about the dance + the dance itself, so I would not write much. However, I would like to mention that Dutch wear special type of shoes during their traditional dance, which you can see in the video. Have fun :)
Originally I am from Pakistan, and I want to share one of the folk dances called Balochi dance. Pakistan has several different folk dances because of several different cultures. Enjoy
Beautiful colorful dresses. I have watched another Pakistani dance called Khatak dance. That also one of the traditional dances of the Northern areas of Pakistan.
Greatly interesting post! Gave great information about different cultural dances. I am sharing the American folk dance.
That's interesting, especially their dress and shoes. Dancing with style :)
Folk dance of Croatia
I wish this was done in the USA as well. It would be far more interesting to see the proposals and dance moves. LOL :)
The most popular dance in Africa {Azonto}
Over the past year, a new dance craze has popped onto the Ghanaian music scene and has been making waves across West Africa and beyond.
It is called "Azonto" and calls for dancers to sort of act out their occupation. It has spread out of Ghana and has become a rage in Ghanaian communities in the US and Britain.
This dance has gone viral and has been trending for years now, it’s very smooth in dancing, very relaxing and exercising, very exciting and fun filled
If you haven’t heard of it yet, I’m sure your Africans friends have. Pronounced, “ah, zone, toe”, kind of rhyming with “I don’t know” , Azonto is on its way to becoming one of the most popular dances world wide.
Originated in Ghana, Azonto is an expressive dance, where you can basically do what ever you want while moving to the rhythm. Some popular moves include mimicking the following activities: washing your clothes by hand, calling out a girl you find attractive, making a phone call, and boxing. Sounds humorous, but so does “the moon walk”, and that seemed to impress people.
Azonto has blown up on youtube. From tutorials, to skits, to music videos, to battles, to Azontoing in public across the globe, Azonto is penetrating the international dance market rapidly.

In my country, the "Joropo" is a traditional form of music and dance that completely identifies the Venezuelan. The Joropo is currently an emblematic symbol of Venezuelan national identity, its music is accompanied by "arpa, cuatro and maracas", musical instruments that can appreciate the background of the dancers.
that is pretty cool.
