Indigenous dance revives ancestral flame.  Riel Indigenous dance revives ancestral flame.  Riel is a Khoisan word for an ancient celebratory dance performed by the San  (also known as Bushmen), Nama and Khoi. The Uitsig Rieldansers Group was founded in 2015 in the Cape Flats, by schoolteacher, Karoneshia Nel, to give children an opportunity to learn about their own culture and tradition. This group of more than 50 dancers specialises in performing the traditional rieldans. The organisation aims to educate and broaden dancers' cultural knowledge, using tradition as an instrument toward rising above their current circumstances - especially because the area in which the children stay is riddled with crime and gangsterism.  “We have revived an ancestral custom to rekindle our appreciation towards ritual that many have lost touch with.” Karoneshia Nel, founder and leader of the Riel Danser Group.
