The Chakacha dance is very common in the Kenyan coastal region, which is predominantly occupied by Swahili people. This traditional dance is usually performed and watched by women.

Originally it was performed at weddings, but contemporary musicians are now incorporating it in to their performances. Chakacha dance is characterized by drum beats and hip-swaying that the Swahili ladies are very good at.
