A critical analysis of the Swati Reed Dance

Abstract

This research focuses on a critical analysis of the reed dance. The study focusses on the reed dance that takes place in Swaziland by the  Swati nation. It is anticipated that the function of the reed dance will be discussed and examined. The relationship between dance, attire,  music, and human beings were demonstrated through music narratives. The major type of Swati reed dances identified, defined, matched, classified, and interpreted. The form of content of the music genre brings together the performer, the performance, and the  audience. The functionality of the music prose is further expected to survive and validate the culture, beliefs, and practices of the whole  tribe. This article argues that reed dance has always been used to enhance learning in many ways. Through dance, one generation can  transmit knowledge, attitude, lore and values to the next generation. In this way, understanding every community's roots is simple. Due  to proximity with other cultures, the Swati dance has evolved.
