Zaouli is a popular form of music and dance performed by the Guro community in Ivory Coast, West Africa. In the dance form, the performers usually dance with only their feet moving.
In addition to speed, dance form is also the art of balancing the whole body on fast-moving feet to music. Although the dance forms may look similar, no single step is repeated in a dance performance.
According to UNESCO, it is a tribute to female beauty and is inspired by two masks: Blou and Djela. Art is a union of multiple elements: costumes, dance, music, masks, etc. Performers typically wear seven different masks. The dance form is popular not only for its difficulty, but also for the sort of social message it spreads to society.
It serves as a community playful educational tool to spread messages about environmental conservation to society. It is also an important cultural identity of its bearers and facilitates integration.
Due to the difficult steps, it takes a dancer over five years to master the dance form. Amateur dancers learn a unique art form under the supervision of an experienced practitioner.
Regular community-level competitions, popular programs, and the efforts of traditional chieftains and guarantors have helped spread the zauri.
