@makeup_by_makuru004: The Kingika dance also known as kuphanga or Meawake of the Pokomo people is traditionally associated with childbirth and the celebration of a newborn baby. It is mainly performed by women when a mother is about to leave seclusion after giving birth and completing the customary period of recovery and breastfeeding. The dance symbolizes joy, thanksgiving, and welcoming the baby into the community. In the Kingika dance, touching or holding the waist can symbolize the pain and struggles of childbirth (labor pains) that the mother experiences before giving birth. Since the dance celebrates motherhood and the birth of a child, some of its movements and gestures are used to represent the mother's journey through pregnancy, labor, and recovery.#pokomodance #tanarivertiktok #pokomotiktokers #tanarivertiktokers #tanariver
