The Seychelles is a small country where the
development of dance is still in its infancy and the scope for learning new
perspectives is very limited. However, there is a promising environment for
dance in the Seychelles. The people of Seychelles love to dance whether on
the street or at the beach.
Music and dance is popular in the Seychelles. The moutia is the typical
dance with strong African and Malagasy rhythms, everyone is encouraged to
join.
There is no indigenous culture in the Seychelles, but aspects of African
origin have survived. The sombre moutia is the typical dance of the
Seychelles, with strong African and Malagasy rhythms. The songs are prayers
which the slaves turned into work chants, and they're accompanied by slow,
repetitive dance routines. Seychellois music is a blend of Indian, European,
Chinese and Arabic - accordions, banjos and violins blend with the makalapo,
a stringed instrument, the zez, a sitar, African skin drums and the bom, a
bowed instrument.
While most dancing groups focus on traditional and folk dancing, alternative
dance forms have come into the limelight in recent times especially through
youth culture. The dancing population and audience in the Seychelles are
also continually expecting greater quality and diversity in the dance arena.

Seychellois are great music
lovers. Though disco music today is very popular among young
people who are up-to-date with all the latest world releases,
modern adaptations of traditional music on CDs are well listened
to as well. The influence comes from the deep African rhythm
(evident in the moutya, sega) and the European waltz, polka,
scottish, mazurkas etc. (the kanmtole) derived from the
quadrilles or country dances.
