Muchongoyo is a presentational dance and drumming style that emphasizes acrobatic and stomping sequences to dazzle spectators during gatherings or competitions with a complementary rythme of sharp claps.

[1][2] In Zimbabwe's Chipinge, Chimanimani, Chiredzi, and Buhera districts, muchongoyo is a traditional dance that is performed for celebratory purposes or events of cultural significance such as burials of chief and royals.

[4] The purpose of the violent foot stomping in muchongoyo is historically to chastise warriors before battle and to celebrate success afterward.

The dance is now practiced to provide entertainment at occasions like traditional weddings, chief installation ceremonies, harvest festivals, keeping fit while dating, or in honor of a deceased dancer.

Then, as the other 260 girls cheered to encourage the dancers, two females danced rhythmically, bringing in refreshments (if available) or arriving with little cloths to remove sweat and fan the performers.

Businessman and politician Wilson Kumbula created out-of-school time groups' galas in Checheche in Chipinge South at the turn of the millennium.

[6] The dancers perform while wearing traditional attire, which for males includes mbikiza and vests on the body, either ngututu or feathers on the head, zvihlabvu or machoba on the legs and arms, and manyatera (sandals) on the feet.

For females, the attire includes maqeyo on the head, zvipetu (combs) in the hair, ketani (tie) on the body, matimwa (multicolored beads) around the neck, madhuku (breast-covering doeks) over the chest, chikisa (colored miniskirts), and matuza (an aluminum ring) around the arms.
