Kuduro is an energetic street dance developed in Angola in the 1980s and new movements arouse each day. Its fast tempo music combines traditional African percussions and more western type of house and techno elements. The dance comprises typically of fast movements of the feet and the dancing position definitely ensures a great butt and thigh workout. Also acrobatic movements are common in kuduro.

Afro House was born in 1990s in South Africa and nowadays it is danced all around the continent. In Afro House, several dance styles, such as bantsula, afrobeat and house, are combined. Afro House is danced differently in different parts of Africa and that is why there are several different styles to dance it, especially when some traditional dances are also often combined. Afro House is slower and more “restful” than Kuduro.
