African style dancing in polycentric, which sets it apart from most other dance traditions in the world. As explained by the National Museum of African Art, this means that the dancers body is segmented into separate areas of movement, with each area being able to move to different rhythms in the music. These moves are known as "Isolation's" in dance terms.
