# #A #Ban #Image from Gosha, Somalia - taken from during the time of period between 1980-1990, sharara or shararo is indigenous southern Somali/Somali Bantu culture dance
Here is a Shareero Walinja being performed at a wedding ceremony of small groups of women (between two and seven) dance in linear procession. Each group of dancers are of the same age group. The line circles the dancing space pausing opposite the musicians. The line then advances and retreats in a parallel line towards the musicians. The feet move close to the floor in a shuffling pattern - right left right, left right left, short, short, long, short, short, long - driving toward the downbeat or beginning of the musical cycle. In staged performance, this dance can be performed solo as well #goshaland SomatusomalifricaHornOfAfrica s lia
