About Sega Dance Show

The sega is the national dance and music of Mauritius, born from the African and Malagasy slaves brought to work the sugar cane fields in the 18th and 19th centuries. Performed around a fire at dusk with bare feet on sand, the dance is characterised by sinuous hip movements driven by the ravane drum. Most beach hotels host a sega evening at least once a week.
