A woman from the Bantu tribe smiles as they prepare for a traditional dance ritual at the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Kanungu District, Uganda on September 28, 2023. Located in the eastern part of the African continent, the landlocked country of Uganda is home to more than 40 ethnic groups with different languages, cultures and traditions. Bantu peoples make up 60 per cent of the population living in the country, where traditional dance is an integral part of the identity. The unique dances of each ethnic community, which have different meanings and purposes, make it easier for outsiders to tell apart different tribes. Members of these ethnic groups transmit their cultural values to different generations through integrating traditional dances into their daily lives.
