Jumping tribe

You might be surprised to hear, that it is not only the warriors who do the dancing at festivities, but also the women.

However, married women never dance with warriors but separately, in an all women circle.
The warriors dance with uncircumcised girls in the centre of the cattle enclosure.

Masai women form a circle and sing and dance at the same time. In turns, one or two of them enter the circle to jump up and down

Warriors and girls enter the cow enclosure in single file, then each form a semi circle and start singing simultaneously. While the warriors jump, the girls mainly use their upper body, wiggling their shoulders to display their neck jewellery.

Old men never participate in the dancing but rather watch from afar.
