The main purpose of gumboot dancing is to express cultural identity and resilience, particularly within the context of South African labor history. Originating among miners in the late 19th century, the dance served as a form of communication and solidarity among workers who were often subjected to harsh conditions. It combines rhythmic footwork, body percussion, and sometimes singing, reflecting both the struggles and the creativity of the miners. Today, gumboot dancing is celebrated as a vibrant art form that showcases South African culture.
