American singer, Rihanna, performed an African dance routine at the Grammy Awards.
Rihana, in a sparkly fuchsia gown, complete with a fringed hemline
and a hibiscus draped behind her ear on Sunday, performed the South
African `gwara gwara’ dance in a song she featured with DJ Khaled.
She incorporated a popular South African dance in her performance of a song titled,‘wild thoughts’.
Several international news media had mistaken the dance for an almost similar popular American dance called ‘the stanky legs’.
However, some Africans on twitter have come out to correct the error by spelling out the name of the dance.
Popular British-Nigerian actress and singer, Cynthia Erivo took to
her twitter handle @CynthiaEriVo to join in the correction, saying:
“This is not the Skanky leg; this is the #GwaraGwara it originates in South Africa.”
Also, the dance group AVO Boyz took to their instagram handle @official_avoboyz to corroborate the correction.
