I think that dhaanto is the best somali dance especially in og. What other somali dances are the best?

I tend to think the dhaanto is one of the most boring dances ever conceived. I mean come on you clap and walk. It is really boring to watch but ironically it is the one dance somalis like to dance in cultural shows.
Wait a minute, is it technically even a "dance"?
the poetry is really interesting though

I agree with voltage, i'm not a big fan of dhaanto but like the poetry.

Boring, really? anyway what about this dance:
Walee, these old men can move except for the fat one who is struggling.

I like that one, although that dance is not just limited to the people of the Erigabo region. It extends across the region but slightly changes depending on the location.
My favourite is the Zeyleci.

Personally the last one I posted is my favourite because of the co-ordination, but it can get dizzy. I haven't seen the zeylici but i've heard of it.

a dance I dislike more than Dhaanto.
Looks like Rwandan women dance but with clothes on and not naked with tits flapping about.
The dance up there with the old men is nice though.

Do you judge other dances because of the clans who do them?
