Kigodoro, a traditional dance in Tanzania that’s gaining wider attention on social media, is facing increased restrictions from the government. The dance involves women exuberantly shaking their bodies, and, in recent years for some performers, it involves stripping completely naked.

Police cracking down on Kigodoro dances performed in weddings and social gatherings say they attract muggers and criminal gangs, putting attendees at risk.

Herman Mwansoko, Director of Culture Development in the ministry of information, youth, culture and sport, says the government has declared this dance illegal.
