Hump De Danda’s foot stomping motion is
different from all the other street cheers that I have collected to
date. Hum De Danda’s chant
is performed to a beat pattern that goes stomp, stomp, stomp, clap.
Performers move slowly sideways and rhythmical to this beat.
This is the exact same beat and sideways movement that the African
American Greek letter sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, uses for its signature step routine, “It’s A Serious Matter.”
The performers of the Hump De Danda
street cheer continue to do this step throughout the entire chant
except for the “Oosh, ain’t that funky now”
part. The tempo speeds up here. The
girls
stop doing the step and perform some popular dance movement instead.
