English edit
Etymology edit
Noun edit
indlamu (uncountable)
- A traditional Zulu dance from South Africa in which the dancer lifts one foot over the head and brings it down hard, landing squarely on the downbeat.
- 2007 February 22, Roslyn Sulcas, “Beyond the Body, Making Spirit Move”, in New York Times[1]:
- But there was sophistication and beauty in the way that traditional African dance motifs, like the fierce, stamping Zulu indlamu sequences, were woven together with more sinuous abstract movements.
