Rihanna's South African dance move excites fans

Rihanna's performance at the Grammy Awards last night drew particular praise from South Africans after she did the popular gwara gwara dance.

The dance move was made popular by South African DJ Bongz, the local TimesLive news site reports.

It quotes him as saying:

"I created the dance from scratch and it feels so special to have it shown on an international stage like the Grammys. It shows that Africa can make a big impact on international dance."

Here's a short video of the dance move:
