Zimbabwean music legend Alick Macheso’s signature dance, the Borrowdale, has taken South Africa by storm! Social media is buzzing with videos and comments from South Africans who can’t get enough of the dance.
The Borrowdale dance, named after the Borrowdale Racecourse in Harare, Zimbabwe, involves intricate footwork and body movements that mimic the style of racing horses. Macheso popularized the dance, which has become a cultural phenomenon in Zimbabwe and is now spreading like wildfire across the border.
South African singer and performer Makhadzi, a self-proclaimed fan of Macheso, has been performing the Borrowdale dance to wild applause from her fans. Her enthusiasm has helped fuel the dance’s popularity in South Africa.
