M'zab dance
Essentially relating to daily life, folklore reinforces the feeling of belonging to a community. In Algeria, each region is distinguished by its habits and customs and it is this sum of traditions and uses which in fact constitutes the identity of the groups.
Folk dances develop several functions, all aimed at developing this sense of community. Crossing time and the ages, they are today among the essential components of our vast cultural heritage.

Among the Mozabites, community rigor and puritanism prohibit women from dancing in front of a male audience, unlike the latter who practice several forms of traditional dances such as adi arnan, accompanying the harvest season, or karabila, a dance customary during major festivals in the region, notably the Carpet Festival.
